Bob came to the Yankees via a huge 17-man trade in 1955. He's won 38 games in his last three seasons and lost 23. Bullet Bob led the American League in both walks and strikeouts with Baltimore in 1954."

Sport Magazine '58 All-Star Selection
"Bob is definitely one of the big pitchers in the American League this season. Although he had a fine year in '57, he's bent on surpassing it in '58. During the first two months of the season, he won 10 games- all complete jobs- including four shutouts.
Bob's bullet-like fastball makes him plenty tough to hit. He does not use a full windup."
