Herman started his coaching career with Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League in '32 and appeared in his last game in '49, with the Giants. He was with the Cardinal chain until the Dodgers obtained him in '40. Durocher was impresssed by Herman's sound grasp of baseball and after Herman managed St. Paul part of '47 and caught for the A's in '47 and '48, Leo added him to the Giants' "board of strategy" in '49. He was in the Service 4 years and attended Utah University.

Back to the Front! Giants card back du jour...
Harry Danning
Harry Danning began his baseball career with Bridgeport, of the Eastern League, in 1931. He started the 1932 season with Bridgeport, moved on to Winston-Salem and later that year was purchased by the New York Giants, who optioned him to Buffalo. He was recalled by the Giants in 1933 and has proven to be a dangerous batter for them. During one game with the Giants he performed a superhuman feat, hitting two home runs, a triple and a double in four trips to the plate. In 1938 he caught in 120 games, getting 137 hits for a batting average of .306. His 6-year major-league record shows 301 hits and 366 games, for a major-league lifetime batting average of .284.
