1954 Inaugural Draft results
DAYTON, OH - The first ever
draft was conducted a little differently than our other startup
drafts. We used orders by position, with catcher being

highlighter marks that I had used for my players, not knowing that
years later they would show up black when scanned. I wrote in my
picks beside it.
