"Harry was one of eight American League hurlers to win 15 or more games in 1952. This, plus an excellent earned run average, earned him a spot on the Rookie All-Star team.
He's been pitching in pro ball since 1946 when he broke in at Martinsville with a 15-12 record. With Savannah in '47 and '48 he posted marks of 16-13 and 15-15. After a brief stint with the A's in 1950, he went to Buffalo. Harry won 18 games for Savannah in '51."

"Harry was the Rookie of the Year with the Athletics in 1952. The Yankees acquired him from the A's in a big player deal early in 1954.
He has been in pro ball since 1946. The Athletics got him from Buffalo in April of 1950. They thought enough of Harry to turn over three players and cash to the Bisons. In 1951 with Savannah of the Sally League, he won 18 games and lost 14. He led the league in complete games and struck out 180."
