"Tommy had the fourth-best earned run average on the Yankee mound staff in 1952.
He's only been pitching since 1949 and that year had a 12-9 record for Ventura of the California League. At Binghamton in 1950, Tommy had a 17-8 record and a 3.55 ERA. During the spring training season of 1951, he showed so much stuff that the Yankees brought him up to the American League. He came through, too, winning nine games.
Tom is now in Service."
