"Bubba" began the 1950 campaign - his rookie year - by winning the first 4 games in which he took part. His final record for the season was 8 and 6 in 31 contests. Badly injured toward end of season when a line drive hit him in the face. The injury, which required an operation, cut down his effectiveness in the season's late stages. Signed by the Phillies in 1947. In their farm system until 1950.
Came within one putout of pitching a no-hitter against the Cardinals in 1950. Had to be satisfied with a 1-hitter. Had a 9-11 record in 32 games. Best year - in either majors or minors - was 1949. Russ won 17 games and lost 8 for a percentage of .680. His 3.08 earned run average was lowest in League for a right handed pitcher. Came to majors with Cubs, end of 1946. First with Phils, 1949.
Handy Andy had a great season with the Whiz Kids in 1950. Besides doing a grand job in receiving, Andy wielded a potent bat. He slammed out 24 home runs. Hit .288 in 130 games. Played the last 4 games of the season, and in the World Series, with a bad bone separation in his ankle. In 1949 tied a major league record by hitting 2 homers in one inning. First full season with the Phillies was 1945.
