Sam joined the White Sox in 1952, and then was farmed out for the next two seasons before returning to Chicago. He has proven to be a valuable hand, starting his share of games at as many as four positions.
Although he was born and raised in Chicago, Groth was signed by Detroit. He finally made it back to his home when Baltimore traded him to the White Sox. A steady hitter, Groth also is a fleet center fielder. His .993 fielding average led the league in 1951. He earned a major league try-out by leading International League in runs, hits, doubles and triples in 1948.
Fielding Tips - Baseman's Stretch. Lew Fonseca, formerly first baseman of the Chicago White Sox, knows that umpires judge close plays at his base by watching the runner's foot and listening for the sound of the ball against the baseman's mitt. By stretching out to meet the ball Fonseca, and other good first basemen, can cut six to eight feet from the ball's flight, and cause it to smack into their mitts a split-second faster than would be the case if they stood upright on the base with their arms close to the body. First basemen must be expert on making one hand catches of wide throws.
