"Tom began the 1951 season with Kansas City. In four games he won two and lost one with earned run average of 2.25.
He went to the mound 27 times for the Yankees and had a 9-3 record. He pitched 125 innings, fanned 57 batters, walked 36 and had an earned run average of 3.67.
Tom is a very good prospect."

"Tom donned a Yankee uniform after two seasons of minor league ball. In 1949, his first year, he won 12 and lost nine for Ventura of the California League. The next year he won 17 and lost eight in 28 games for Binghamton.
Tommy showed so much at the 1951 Yankee spring training camp that the Yankees bought him from their Kansas City farm team. He fanned three in a 1951 World Series relief job."
