TOM GORMAN
"Tom divided his time in 1952 between the Yankees and Kansas City. The big fellow did some excellent relief pitching at the close of the season for the Yanks in their fight for the pennant.
In 1951 with Beaumont of the Texas League, Tom had a 1.94 earned run average, leading the league. He worked 172 innings and allowed but 37 earned runs. He won 12 and lost eight that year."
-1953 Bowman No. 61
JOHNNY KUCAB (Kansas City Blues)
"The A's brought Johnny up in September of 1950 and in his debut, he pitched five scoreless innings against the White Sox.
John put in two seasons of pro ball before being called into military service in 1942. He missed four seasons and came back in '46 and compiled a 12-1 record and a 1.87 ERA, and a 21-7 mark for Youngstown in '49. Johnny had a 16-12 record for Lincoln in 1950."
-1952 Topps No. 358
