An even more definitive essay on my man, Elston Howard, from the venerable Pinstripe Alley...

"In so many ways Elston Howard was a man constantly on the edge of history. He played for the near-mythic Kansas City Monarchs under Buck O’Neil. He batted behind Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra in the legendary 1961 season. He won four rings as a player and another two as a coach with the Yankees."
