"Ralph posted the finest E.R.A. on the A's staff last season. After toiling in the Yankee chain for four seasons and compiling a 38-22 record, he was brought up to the Yanks late in the 1956 season.
He has a zipping fastball and is stingy with walks. Ralph was an all-state high school football player in Oklahoma."

"After waiting for his chance in the Yankee organization, Ralph finally came of age when he joined the Athletics in 1957. He immediately proved to be a first-string pitcher and is one of the mainstays of the Kansas City mound corps. He owns a mean fastball.
Ralph is a football fan."
