"The American League Rookie of the Year in '51, Gil achieved a once-in-a-lifetime thrill when he hit a homer with the bases full against the Giants in the World Series. [On May 2] he tied a big league record by driving in six runs in one inning and had the second best night game [seasonal batting average] in the American League with .358.
Since he broke in with Twin Falls in 1948, Gil has never batted less than .300. He hit .344 for Victoria in '49 and .336 for Beaumont in '50."
