Honor Pays For Herbel In Giants Signing Tale
Ron Herbel, then a 20-year-old Colorado State College sophomore, backed by scout Kiddie Montague, signed with the Giants after a sequence of offers. He reportedly received a $65,000 signing amid competing bids from 14 clubs, with BYU in the Skyline Conference context and Omaha NCAA implications shaping his path. Montague recalled the $50,000 figure and noted Herbel turned down more money to stay with the Giants, ending with a late-1950s pro ball rise and a lobster dinner memory.
