1957 Back-O'-The-Card: Jerry Coleman

"Jerry is the Yankees' troubleshooter. Whenever a danger spot pops up in the Yankee infield, he moves into action. Last season he played 41 games at second, 18 at third and 24 at shortstop.
Jerry started in Baseball at Wellsville in the Yankee chain in 1942 with a .304 mark and after three years in the Marines joined Binghamton in '46. Advancing to Kansas City, he hit .278 and came to New York in '49. That year he led American League second basemen in fielding."
