"Mickey batted an even .300 in his third full major league season. He's a slugger to be reckoned with. Appearing in 146 games for New York in 1954, he led the league in runs scored with 129. His 163 hits were good for a total of 285 bases and included 17 doubles, 12 triples and 27 homers. He batted in 102 runs. As is often the case with sluggers, Mickey also led the league in strikeouts with 107. He is a highly regarded young player.
Mickey started in organized ball in 1949."
