    - Elston Howard

    In 1958, Elston Howard was in his fourth season with the New York Yankees, solidifying his role as a key player on the team. This was a standout year for Howard, as he earned his second consecutive All-Star selection and helped the Yankees win the World Series. At 29 years old, Howard was hitting his stride, batting .314 with 11 home runs and 66 RBIs in 103 games that season.

    This radio interview captures Howard during a pivotal time in his career. Just three years earlier, in 1955, he had broken the color barrier for the Yankees, becoming the first African American player on the team. By 1958, Howard had established himself as a versatile player, primarily catching but also playing outfield and first base. His performance was crucial to the Yankees' success, as they clinched their fourth World Series title in five years, with Howard playing a significant role in the championship run.
