Traded to the Reds by the Cubs in 1952, Frank broke into organized ball with Newark in 1943. Posting a 39-27 mark in 3 years, the Yankees called him up in 1946. Sent to Kansas City in '47, he won 15 and was recalled in '48, having a 5-2 record as a Yankee. Frank returned to Kansas City in '49 and the Cubs got him. In 1950, as a Cub, he won 12 and lost 5. In '51, he pitched a 1-hitter against the Cards, facing only 27 batters.
Joe is a good catcher, and a nice man to have on your side with a bat in his hands. He appeared in 82 games for the Athletics in 1953, batting a neat .296. He had 24 runs batted in and 15 doubles. Joe played freshman ball at Illinois, then went into the Coast Guard for three years. In 1947 with Savannah of the Sally League he hit .280 and was the league's best fielding catcher. In 1948 with Memphis he hit .352, and again led catchers in fielding.
