"Bobby really made the rounds in 1951. He started off with the Braves and went to the Browns in May. The Browns sent him to Kansas City in August and then the Yankees brought him up to strengthen their relief corps.
The Braves brought Bobby up in 1948 after he won 16 games and pitched a no-hit game for Dallas in 1947. His first year up he won eight and lost two, but won five while losing seven the next two years.
Bobby served in the Armed Forces."
