"The Yankees first discovered Johnny at their spring training base in 1954. Still a minor league player, he was so brilliant in inter-squad games that he stayed on the team for the entire season. Last year, he really began rolling, finishing seventh in the League in E.R.A. and posting the second highest Yankee victory total. He beat Cleveland four times and won the final game of the World Series with a 3-hitter."
