"When the Yankees needed an experienced pitcher for the last month of the 1951 pennant drive, they bought Johnny Sain from the Boston Braves. He paid off with a 5-hit win in his first start.
He broke into the Big Leagues with the Braves in 1942 and spent the next three years in Service. On his return in 1946, he won 20 games and went on to take 21 in 1947, 24 in 1948 and 20 in 1950. In the '48 World Series, John won the opening game 1-0."
