1957 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Jerry Lynch

"Hampered by injuries, Jerry saw only one month of active service with the Pirates last season. This year, he joins the muscle men from Cincinnati and is active as a pinch hitter.

Before coming to the majors, Jerry led the Piedmont League in batting, also topping the loop in hits, doubles, triples and runs batted in."

1957 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Dale Long

"Dale is the homer king of the Pirate squad. Last season he belted eight circuit smashes- a feat never done before!

Starting in baseball in 1944, Dale split his time between the outfield and pitching. However, in 1950 when he led the Eastern League in homers and runs batted in, he knew he belonged in the lineup daily and dropped hurling. The Pirates once wanted to make Dale a lefty catcher!"
