"Jim came to the Yankees from the Phillies in 1954. For New York, he had a 1-1 record for nine mound appearances. He appeared in 33 games for the Phillies winning two and losing three.
A fine pitcher, Jim was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1950. That year his 74 appearances and a 16-7 record as a top-notch fireman were vital factors in the Phillies' drive to the pennant. He's been in baseball since 1941."
