This will be Bob's 11th active season in the majors. With 3 years of minor league ball under his belt, he broke in with the White Sox as a third-baseman in 1939 and led the American League in putouts at this position in 1940. Traded to the Indians in 1948, Bob has his best years in 1949 and 1950, hitting .276 and .291 while switching to the outfield. He took time out from baseball for 3 years to serve as a Marine pilot.
Jack believes, "If at First You Don't Succeed... Try Pitching." And he did just that by swapping his 1st Baseman's mitt for the mound in '52, to become one of the top Sox hurlers! Jack was a powerhouse at bat in the Minors, twice winning his League's Homer title, before turning to pitching. In '53 he won 23 games for Nashville after having 3 short trials with the New York Giants.
