Elston Howard -- Going to the Yankees!
(Thanks Dewey: great photograph. Obviously, Elston's arm.)
The players could see what was coming. Monarchs owner Tom Baird had found that there was money to be made selling players to the majors. Ernie and Ellie made a bet: Whoever got to the majors first would call the other and tell him what it was like. Tom Greenwade, the legendary Yankees scout, soon came calling to look at a different player, but Buck O’Neil steered him to Howard. Within days, Elston Howard and Frank Barnes had been sold for $25,000 to the New York Yankees. (I apologize for the blurry scan. I can't fix it at my present location.)
