"Tommy gave up 160 bases on balls in 1950- the most in the League- yet had the excellent win-lose record of 15-9.
He began in organized baseball in 1940 with the Yankees' Newark farm team. Tommy joined the parent club in 1943 after compiling a record of 17-4 to lead the International League in winning percentage (.810).
In the service for the next three years, Tommy was with the Yanks in 1946 and has been since the end of 1947."
