"This will be Joe's 18th year in organized baseball and judging by his ability to deliver clutch hits, he gets better with age. Whether he's called for outfield or first base duty, Joe fills in beautifully.
Joe came to the Yankees after hitting .319 with 20 homers at Kansas City (A.A.) in 1949. In the first game of the '55 World Series, Joe pounded out two homers."
