"Ed was the top hurler in the American League last year, chalking up the best earned run and won-lost averages. His tantalizing curves and pinpoint control permitted the fewest walks and fewest defeats. When Ed beat the Dodgers in the 1953 Series, it was his fourth win in seven Fall Classic games.
He wanted to be a Yankee 1st sacker in 1936- but they had Gehrig. So he tried out and was signed by a Dodger farm. He then became a pitcher. 12 years later Ed was a Yankee- one of their star chuckers. He had a 21-9 record in 1951 and has won 97 games since '48."
