"A terrific fielder, Joe placed second in defense among American League first sackers last season. With the Yankees since 1949, he's versatile enough to play the outfield as well as the initial sack and has helped them toward four of their recent five straight pennants.
Joe started in 1939 and played eight years in the minors before hitting .319 at Kansas City to win a permanent place with the New Yorkers."

"A seasoned veteran, Joe is a top defensive first sacker. In six years as a Yankee, his timely batting has helped win five pennants. Joe started in baseball back in 1939."
