The Red Sox' most effective righthanded starter during the 1950s, Brewer pitched for teams that finished in the middle of the pack. His best year was 1956, when he finished 19-9 and pitched two innings of the All-Star Game. Throughout his career, he was especially tough on the Indians and A's. (PB)
