Alex is young, strong and a willing and capable worker. He was in 25 games for the Athletics in 1953 and won 11 and lost 12. His record could have been improved on the winning side of the ledger with a better hitting team behind him. Alex was a 20 game winner in 1949, his first full season in the majors. He has a baseball heritage. In 1927 Alex' father played in the Arizona-Texas League.
