"With one year of minor league ball, Johnny became a starter in 1955. He broke in with the Yankees by winning 8 games. The following season, he not only beat the sophomore jinx but was a sensation with 18 wins. In the 1956 Series his 3-hit shutout against the Dodgers won the deciding game.
In his only minor league season, he had a 19-6 mark and a 2.55 ERA."
-1958 Topps No. 87
