"Tom's first full season as a major leaguer was a tremendous success. He was in the American League top ten in won-lost percentage and ERA. He was a jinx to the Indians, beating them four out of five times. In the Series, Tom downed the Dodgers in the 4th game with a 6-hitter.
He started in baseball as in infielder but switched to pitching after five years."
-1957 Topps No. 34
