"Gil enjoyed a great year in 1956 with his highest batting mark. In the field, he played second, third and shortstop expertly.
Gil's freshman season in 1951 was eventful as he tied a major league record by driving in six runs in one inning. In '52, he led the League's third sackers in double plays and in '55 topped A.L. second sackers in that department."
