1962 New York Yankees Support Personnel

SPUD MURRAY (Batting Practice Pitcher)

"A man you see pitching batting practice EVERY day, but who never appears in a game, is Spud Murray, the official Yankee batting practice pitcher, the man with the 'rubber' arm. He wears uniform No. 55. His excellent control gives the hitters the full opportunity to get their batting practice cuts."

JOE SOARES AND DON SEGER (Trainers)

"The Yankees pay as much attention to the physical well-being of their players and the youngsters being developed in the farm system as they do to any other detail in the vast operation of a championship ball club. Head trainer Joe Soares has been with the Yankees for three seasons while trainer Don Seger joined the Bombers this spring. Both received their early training with Yankee farm clubs."

"Two men spend more time at Yankee Stadium than any of the players, but the fans never see them. They are the long-time Yankee clubhouse chiefs- Pete (Big Pete) Sheehy and Pete (Little Pete) Previte. Sheehy has been a Yankee since 1927, Previte since 1942."
