Jim Coates was signed by the Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1951. Coates was a member of the Yankee team that regained the American League pennant in 1960 but lost in the World Series. In 1961 Coates went 11–5 as a spot starter for perhaps the major leagues' greatest-ever team. Coates relieved Ford in Game Four of the Series and pitched four scoreless innings for the save in a 7–0 Yankee win. In 1962 Coates went 7–6 for a Yankee team that repeated as World Champions.
