1956 Back-O'-The-Card: Tommy Carroll and Sonny Dixon

TOMMY CARROLL
"Tommy joined New York after hitting .550 at Notre Dame. The Yankees gave him a big bouns contract for signing.
A speedster, Tommy is a clever base runner."

-1956 Topps No. 139


SONNY DIXON
"Sonny began the 1953 season with the Washington Senators, appearing in 16 games for them. Then he went to the Philadelphia Athletics and went to the mound 38 times. He was used in relief in all but six of his mound appearances. He won 6, lost 9, worked 137 innings and gave up 162 hits.
Sonny began in baseball in 1941 with his native Charlotte team in the Piedmont League. He appeared also with Chattanooga and Augusta before coming to the majors with the Senators in 1953."
