STEVE KRALY
"Up for another chance at a Yankee starting assignment, Steve has all the talent to become an American League star. He joined the Yankees late in the 1953 season after a great year at Binghamton where he won 19 games while losing only 2, with a 2.08 ERA and 139 strikeouts.
Steve starred in high school and American Legion baseball before entering pro ball."

LOU SLEATER
"After a month in pro ball, Lou went into the Navy. From 1946 through '49 he played in six different minor leagues. The Giants mistakenly put him on the waiver list and the Browns grabbed him in 1950.
After a brief trial with the Browns, Lou was sent to San Antonio, winning 12 and losing 5. He spent part of '51 at Kansas City where he appeared in seven games, winning 4 and losing 2. He was traded to the Senators in May of '52"
-1952 Topps No. 306
"Lou came to the Senators from the Browns in May of '52. Before being sent down to Chattanooga in July, Lou, in addition to three other victories, turned in a 1-0 shutout of the A's.
After two years at the University of Maryland, he entered pro ball with Hartford in 1946. For Ogdensburg in '48, Lou posted a 12-8 mark. For Jacksonville in '49, he had a 14-13 record and for San Antionio in '50 he won 12. He was with the Browns for parts of '50 and '51."
