"Johnny had 10 wins and 16 losses in 1950. He did mound duty 39 times.
He became a major leaguer at the end of the 1941 season, winning two games for the Cubs. He was in military service for three years.
A glance at 1948 will give an idea of what Johnny can do on the mound. With a cellar ball club, his record was 18-13. His earned run average, 2.64, was the fourth lowest in the National League. In 1949, he had an 11-13 record."

"Johnny pitched some nice ball for the Dodgers early in the 1952 season. He was acquired by Brooklyn early in the 1951 campaign after spending six full seasons with the Chicago Cubs. He was in 24 games in '51, winning two and losing six.
Johnny's best season was 1948 when his record for the Cubs was 18-13."

"Johnny was traded to the Dodgers in 1951 after beating them 18 times since he became a Cub hurler in 1941.
The Cubs got him from Milwaukee at the end of the '41 season and after 1942, he went into military service for three years. Back in 1946, Johnny had an 11-11 record and led the National League in strikeouts with 135. His best year in the majors was 1948, when he won 18, lost 13 and fanned 100.
In 1949, Johnny had 11 wins and won 10 in 1950."
