The Yankees bought the idea, and Shirley proved to be one of their most valuable pitchers for a couple of years.

And for $25,000 plus five players, the Yankees bought him from the Seals.

Why, Scarlett, the Yankees are buying soldiers from Europe by the thousands!

His career really took off after the Yankees bought him.

He says he got tossed in the mud when he made the mistake of wearing the Yankees uniform his father had bought him.
