Don was traded to Boston by the White Sox during the winter season. While a freshman baseball and basketball star at the University of Illinois, he enlisted in the Navy. In 1946 he started in the minors and made the majors with the Browns in 1950 after hitting 26 homers for San Antonio. As a rookie, he played first and third base and the outfield and wallopped 22 homers. The White Sox paid the Browns $75,000 for him in '51.
Dave possesses one of the finest curveballs in the league and with his control continually improving, it's just a matter of time before he becomes one of the circuit's top winners. The big right-hander was a winning pitcher in Triple-A competition just two years after hurling high school ball. Throughout the 1965 campaign, Dave battled teammate Earl Wilson for the club strikeout lead.
A superstar in his era, Wade has seen the appreciation of his greatness only grow with the modern emphasis on plate discipline and on-base skills. The five-time AL batting champion produced more walks than strikeouts in 17 of his 18 seasons.
