Meet one of baseball's senior members. After spending 15 seasons as an active player, Chuck joined the managerial wars in 1932. As a big league skipper, he held the reins of the Cincinnati Reds, the old Brooklyn Dodgers, the Washington Senators and the Milwaukee Braves, before joining the Tigers in 1963. Breaking into organized ball in 1919 as a second baseman, Chuck switched to the hot corner and became one of the game's top third sackers. In 1924, the infielder batted .346 at St. Paul and he was brought up to the majors the following year. Among the highlights of his managerial career were the two consecutive National League pennants he captured for the Dodgers in 1952 and 1953. Baseball experts feel that Chuck's '66 Tigers will be in the thick of the A.L. pennant fight.
The 1909 T206 Set received its name from Jefferson Burdick, author of the American Card Catalog. ‘T’ in the T206 name stood for 20th century tobacco issues while ‘206’ was simply a number assigned to it.
Another member of the Dodger youth movement is sinker ball artist, Ed Roebuck. Last season at Montreal he hurled the Most Complete Games, and tied for the lead in Shutouts and Most Victories. In Baseball since '49 he started his winning ways in '51 when he posted 14 victories for Elmira with a low 2.47 E.R.A. At Montreal the following year he won 15 and had a 2.29 E.R.A.
