"Jerry is a modest hero. He returned to the Yankees for the final month of the 1953 campaign after military service as a captain in the Marine Air Corps in Korea. As a bomber pilot, Jerry has over 100 missions to his credit in World War II and the Korean conflict.
He's a great fielder and can pivot on the double play in expert fashion. Jerry won the Babe Ruth Award in 1950 as the top performer in the World Series."
