Tresh came up with the Yankees in 1961 and was still with them during the era of this bat. Tresh started his career with the Yankees as a shortstop when Tony Kubek was in military service. In 1962 he won both the MLB Rookie of the Year and The Sporting News Rookie of the Year awards, after hitting .286 (the highest mark of his career) with 20 home runs and 93 RBI in 157 games. When Kubek returned during the 1962 season, Tresh was moved to left field. At various times with the Yankees, Tresh played shortstop, outfield, and third base. In a nine-season career, Tresh was a .245 hitter with 153 home runs and 530 RBI in 1192 games.
