1957 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Wally Burnette

"Joining Kansas City last July, Wally showed promise of becoming a real big league star. He had a winning record against the Red Sox and held his own against the Yankees and White Sox, splitting two decisions with each club.
Wally entered baseball with the Yankee chain after spending two years in military service and went to Binghamton in 1953 where he won 21 games. In the 1954 season, he played with Kansas City of the American Association, winning 12, and the following year had 15 wins at Denver."
