"This sparkling double play combination is responsible for many of the successes of the Yankee infield. Phil is a veteran of many seasons with the New Yorkers, while the fighting Martin is a newcomer, having joined the Yanks in 1950. Phil, who has played with many Yankee second baseman- and can be credited with much of their success- found Billy as his second base partner after Jerry Coleman was called up by the Marines.
Phil is one of the best bunters in the League, and Billy is a speed boy. They're a good pair."
-1953 Bowman No. 93
