The hustling lefthander, who overcame the loss of a kidney, was considered as a fine fielder but an ordinary hitter until 1960. Suddenly, his line drives fell in, and he finished with a .323 batting average, within one hit of the NL batting crown won by Dick Groat. He never came close to matching his '60 season and was out of the majors three years later. (LAW)
