Yankees Take First Draft Pick In 1966 Free Agent Selection
The New York Yankees secure the top spot in the 1966 draft after finishing 10th, with about 800 players to be chosen by 20 major league clubs and minor league affiliates across a two day event. High school players lead the list due to a college rule, with prospects like Terry Hughes of Spartanburg, Mike Garman of Caldwell, Don Blomberg of Atlanta, and Phil Meyer of Downey among top candidates. The Chicago Cubs pick second, the Dodgers last, and the secondary phase follows for previously selected unsigned players. Minor league affiliates join in the same inverse order as parent teams.
