"Rube" was brought up through the Cubs' farm system and played for them 3 years before being traded to the Dodgers in '51. His best year in the minors was '46 with Davenport, where he led the 3-I League in Hitting with a .354 mark. After batting .331 for Nashville the next season, the Cubs signed him up for Major League duty. He proved a valuable substitute for the injured Roy Campanella in the Dodgers' '51 stretch drive... banging out a homer in the 2nd playoff game.
