1961 Back-O'-The-Card: Joe DeMaestri

"In 1958, for the second straight season, DeMaestri was the American League's top fielding shortstop. On July 8, 1955, he went 6-for-6, all singles."

-1959 Topps No. 64

"Joe's value can't be judged by his season totals. Often during a key game, he is called upon for a defensive play that can save the day.
Joe's two RBIs this season both won games. In 1955, he got six hits in six at-bats in one game."

-1961 Topps No. 116
