1953 Back-O'-The-Card: Ed Lopat

"After breaking in as a first sacker in 1937, 'Steady Eddie' switched to the mound. He hurled for nine minor league teams before being brought up by the White Sox in 1944.
The Yanks gave up three players to the Sox for Ed after the '47 season. The chunky curve-baller compiled records of 17-11, 15-10, 18-8 and 21-9 for the Yanks from 1948 through 1951. He owns a 3-1 record in six World Series games.
Ed runs a baseball school in Florida during the Winter."
