Pepitone spent seven-plus seasons with the Yankees and won three Gold Gloves at first base. He also made three AL All-Star teams. The Brooklyn native also starred at John Jay High School in Park Slope before the Yankees signed him in 1958.
Pepitone was eventually traded to the Astros and also spent time with the Cubs and Braves.
