"Whitey joined the Yankees mid-way in their 1950 pennant drive. He wowed the fans by winning nine games while losing only one. He hung up a .900 percentage and an earned run average of 2.81 and won the last game of the World Series.
Whitey is not wearing a baseball uniform in 1951. He is occupied with a more important job for Uncle Sam. Good luck, Whitey, in the Army and on your return."
-1951 Bowman, No. 1 (Bowman Gum, Inc.)
