"Gil had another fine season last year, both at bat and in the field. One of Gil's biggest thrills was in the 1951 World Series when he blasted a home run with the bases loaded. In 1955, he had his best year, hitting .311.
Gil once drove in six runs in one inning. He has topped American second basemen, third basemen and shortstops in double plays."
