Happy Birthday to Elston Howard (February 23, 1929 - December 14, 1980) who was the first African American to play for the New York Yankees. A gentleman and a family man, Howard was a leader on the Yankee dynasty teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Howard was a 12x All Star, 2x Gold Glove winner and the 1963 American League MVP. #ElstonHoward #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #BlackStudies #AfricanAmericanHistory #AfricanAmericanStudies #NewYorkYankees #NYYankees #NYY #BaseballBirthdays #BaseballHistory #HistoriaDelBeisbol #Baseball #Beisbol #BaseballSisco https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPImdhgQDJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18sortd55fe4b

This week’s artifact from the @YogiBerraMuseum is an early 1960s #ElstonHoward road jersey. Howard was the first black player in @Yankees history and became the first black #AmericanLeague MVP in 1963. A great catcher himself, he was next in line as the regular backstop in the Bronx after Yogi’s #HallofFame career. Oh yeah, Elston Howard also played in 10 #WorldSeries! #baseball ⚾️8️⃣, 3️⃣2️⃣ (at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZkxZ6PvRq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
