The 1971 MLB Draft was the seventh draft hosted by Major League Baseball . In the first place, Danny Goodwin was selected by the Chicago White Sox .
background
The June draft was one of the most successful ever. In the regular phase, the future MLB All-Stars Jim Rice in the first round from the Boston Red Sox , George Brett in the second round from the Kansas City Royals , Ron Guidry in the third round from the New York Yankees , Rick Rhoden selected in the first round by the Los Angeles Dodgers , Mike Schmidt in the second round by the Philadelphia Phillies and Keith Hernandez in the 42nd round by the St. Louis Cardinals . In the second phase of the draft, Burt Hooton of the Chicago Cubs in the first round, Steve Rogers of the Montreal Expos also in the first round, and Steve Busby of the Kansas City Royals in the second round, three other future All-Stars were selected.
Failing to come to terms financially with the White Sox, Danny Goodwin was the first player to be drafted in the first place but not subsequently given a contract. In 1975 , however, was given a second chance. With Archie Manning , Steve Bartkowski and Joe Theismann , three later NFL stars were also drafted.
