1958 Yankee Prospect of the Past: El Tappe

"Elvin returns for another crack at the major leagues this season. He is one of the finest defensive backstops around. He'll surely make the grade if he can hit like he did in the Western and Eastern Texas Leagues.
Elvin and his twin brother Mel were battery mates in high school. In 1946 he broke his ankle and never thought he'd play again."
