"Jim is one of the Yankees' good young infield prospects. He was with the Yankees during all of the 1952 season, a year which saw them win their fourth straight World Championship. He appeared in 42 games and hit .263.
In 1951 Jim was with San Francisco and was ranked as the second-best fielding shortstop in the Pacific Coast League. He hit .310 with Binghamton during his first year in organized ball."
-1953 Bowman No. 136
