"Steady Eddie" was in 31 games in 1951. Won 21, while losing only 9. His percentage of .700 was the second best in the league. Ed was also second in earned run averages with 2.91. He pitched 235 innings. Gave up only 71 walks as against 93 strikeouts. Began in majors in 1944.
In '44, Ron's 15th-inning Home Run won the longest 1-0 game to be won by a Homer, in modern major league history. One of the National League's top Home Run sluggers, he's tied for 2nd in Grand Slam Homers with 8 in his career. After coming up with the Phils in 1942, Ron served in the Armed Forces (1946) and played with the Cards, Reds and Cubs. He didn't play in '51. Back this year, Ron was sold to Los Angeles. In '44, he hit .288, 22 Homers and drove in 104 runs.
Upon his graduation from Holy Cross College, in 1930, Gene Desautels joined the Detroit Tigers and caught in 42 games that year. He was farmed out to the Columbus team of the American Association, catching for them in 1931. The following year, Desautels was recalled by the Detroit Tigers and was understudy to Ray Heyworth during 1932 and 1933. In 1934 he was the catcher for the Toledo Club, Hollywood in 1935 and San Diego in 1936 with whom he acquired a batting average of .319. Gene joined the Boston Red Sox in 1937, taking over the regular catching job after Rick Ferrell was sold to Washington. His five-year major-league record shows that Gene has caught in 304 games, getting 218 hits for an average of .248.
