"Darrell gets the important job of backing up Yogi Berra as the Yankee catcher this season. His fine performances at Denver in 1955 and '56 paved the way for his appearance in a Yankee uniform. Last season he batted .319 including 20 doubles and seven circuit blows.
Darrell started in 1949 and in Marshall in '50 hit .329. He advanced to Wichita Falls in '51 and batted .309. After a brief major league trial he traveled to Richmond where his contract was assigned to New York."
