1958 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Hal W. Smith

"Hal picked up a lot of catching know-how from Paul Richards, his first big league manager, at Baltimore in 1955. Last season he enjoyed his best season with the bat since coming into the majors, hitting over .300 for the first time. In the American Association in 1954, he was the leading hitter with a .350 mark.
He's regarded as one of the league's top catchers."
