After leading the Eastern League with a .375 BA in 1947, the WWII Navy veteran jumped
to the ML as backup catcher for the Indians' 1948 World Champions, hitting .289.
Traded or sold four times in the next six seasons (in 1950, from the White Sox to
the A's for Nellie Fox), he showed home run power but remained a substitute.
