    I was just looking back at the Yankees 11th Round Pick in the June 1970 Draft – yes, I am a Yankees-fanatic, ain’t I? – and I saw that they selected Kevin Rusnak from OSU. However, the selection was voided.

    This got me wondering as to what this was all about – and then I found this from the June 17, 1970 edition of the Spokane Daily Chronicle:

    kevin-rusnak-selection-voided

    Is that crazy, or what? Oh, the days when everything was done with pen and paper…

      I can’t be 100% sure, but we can be reasonably certain that Brian Cashman was not involved.

      @ Evan3457:
      It was Lee McPhailure, but also check out Murray Cook’s experience with Tim Belcher.
