"Norm is one of the heavy reinforcements called in to help regain the Championship this year.
In the minors, he hit .331 at McAlister in 1951 and .324 at Joplin in 1952, before spending two years in military service. While in spring training with the Yankees in 1956, he was injured and spent the first half of the season at Denver. Last year, Norm was the batting champ of the American Association."
