Frank Carpin joins us this week.  Frank played baseball at Notre Dame and was signed into the New York Yankees organization in 1959.  The Yankees were known for their great farm system, but at this time (early 1960s) they stripped their coaches out and moved them up to the Big Leagues.  This story is how bad the Yankees farm system became which led to their mediocre performance during the CBS years (1965-1972). Frank was part of that minor league system but overcame it with a solid year with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1965.  Frank talks about working through the Yankees system and finally getting his opportunity in the Big Leagues Back When There Was Baseball.
