Joining the Yankees midway through the 1960 season, Jim rounds out Manager Houk's coaching staff as bullpen coach and catching instructor.
In his recently ended playing career, the former Indian did most of the catching for the Tribe's pennant winners of 1948 and 1954. Jim was highly regarded by such Indian pitching stalwarts as Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, Mike Garcia and Don Mossi. He was behind the plate for no-hitters from Feller, Lemon and Don Black.
