"Tommy had a great year in the Pacific Coast League in 1954, earning himself a late-season spot with the Yankees in his comeback. He has a lot of friends and they are rooting for him in 1955.
With Seattle last year he had a 20-10 record in 36 appearances. He struck out 199 men and walked 118 and his ERA was 3.15. For the Yanks, he had a 3-2 record for five games and a 2.70 ERA.
Tommy was plagued by control [problems] during his first major league go-round."
-1955 Bowman No. 300
