1952 Back-O'-The-Card: Joe Ostrowski and Dave Madison

JOE OSTROWSKI
"Called 'Professor' by his teammates, Joe is a Scranton University graduate and teaches school during the off-season.
The ace of the Yankee relief corps, he worked in more games than any other Yankee in 1951, except Allie Reynolds. The Yanks got Joe in June 1950 in a trade with the Browns.
He came up to the majors with the Browns in the middle of the 1948 season after spending two years in the minors and three years in military service.
Joe is a competent basketball referee."

DAVE MADISON
"Dave came to the Browns from the Yankees in April of 1952.
He's been in organized ball since 1947 when he appeared in 12 games for Denver of the Western League. In '48, '49 and '50 Dave pitched for Kansas City of the American Association. He compiled 14-9, 11-10 and 6-15 records during those seasons, being used in relief a great deal. He was in military service during the 1951 season."
