Karl Drews is not going to be a name that goes down in Yankees’ lore. He managed to have an eight-year MLB career, most of which came with the Phillies. However, he came up with the Yankees and had a couple years with the club, taking part in the 1947 World Series winning team.
However, before any of that, he had maybe the most unfortunate debut in Yankees’ history.
Born and raised in Staten Island, Drews signed with the Yankees out of high school after impressing at a tryout came 1938.
