"Last season the S.O.S. signal went up 31 times with Fred's number on it. The troubled-tossed Dodgers need his talents to relieve their starting staff. It was a change from the full length assignments Fred received while with Montreal.
Fred has a wicked knuckleball."

"Fred broke into baseball in dramatic fashion in 1953. At Asheville he compiled a 15-5 record and led his league with a low 2.23 ERA. After a year at Mobile, he went to Montreal and found Triple A ball to his liking. Fred polished 20 opponents and lost but seven times. He came to the Dodgers in 1957.
Fred was in military service in 1954 and 1955."
