"Charlie is the real strongman in the Yankees' second line of defense. In 1949 he hit .315 in 58 contests and in 1952 batted .327 in 55 games.
Starting with Wellsville in 1942, Charlie spent three years in military service before joining Kansas City in 1946. With Portland in 1948, he hit .301, led the Pacific Coast League in fielding and came to the Yanks late that season.
Charlie is one of the most feared men in baseball. When he's not catching, he's very effective at upsetting Yank opponents- because Charlie is the best bench jockey in the game today!"
