Either the team would miss out | In their bid for an American Lea ; sue flag or it would endure a dip at the gate sufficient to warrant alarm. It was after the Cleveland Indians won the 1954 AL pen ant, that the Yankees brought up—and retained Elston j Howard. Casey Stcnael and George Weiss seemed in no | hurry to arid further color to the Yankee Stadium ensem ble. To (he surprise of the base bail world, ii was announced on the final date for trad ing this season that the Yan kees had acquired Harry Simpson, the slugging out fielder of the Kansas City athletics. The Yankees gave up good stuff to get him, too. ; Some of the surface evidence seems to indicate that the Yan ! kees wanted more to get rid of I Billy Martin, the terrible-temper j second baseman, than to acquire ' i Simpson, The deal apparently was en- j gineered by General Manager Weiss. When asked who he j thought got the better o! it,. Sten : gel succinctly expressed his feel- j mg-s: “Them other guys he said. ] Stengel always was fond of Mar ; tin He was in no rush to stick j Simpson in the lineup. It was - clear that he would use Harry | mostly against righthanded pitch ing, preferring to employ Hank Bauer against the left handers.
