"Joe was hurt at the beginning of the 1952 season but came back to help the Yankees retain their World Championship.
He started playing for Butler of the Pennsylvania State League in 1939. After he hit .319 for Kansas City in '49, the Yankees brought him up. Joe hit .286 for the World Champions in 1951 and played both first base and the outfield.
'Lefty' served in the Armed Forces in 1944 and '45."
