When the Phillies' "General Staff" wanted a heavy hitter to bolster their outfield in '54 they picked Danny. It proved to be a wise choice because his timely hitting and solid play as a flychaser last season give a preview of bigger and better things for both the Club and Schell. He earned his chance at Major League play by hitting .333 at Schenectady in '53.
Tom was in 25 games for the 1955 edition of the St. Louis Cardinals, and he won 5 games while losing 7. He worked 106 innings and gave up 101 hits, and his earned run average, a good yardstick for measuring a pitcher's ability, was a good 3.06. In 1950 while Tom was pitching for Rochester of the International League he pitched a 22 inning game against Jersey City, winning by a 3-2 score. Began in baseball in 1945 and first came to the majors at the end of the 1950 season.
With a fielding percentage of .993, Johnny tied with 2 other players for top spot among American League outfielders in 1951. In 112 games. Had 266 putouts, 12 assists. Made but 2 errors. Batted .299 and drove in 45 runs. Had 128 hits, good for 168 bases. 1st full season with Tigers, '49.
