Philadelphia is most fortunate to have this pair of slugging lefthanded batters. Johnny Callison has been the most productive lefthand batter on the Phillies club for the past three years. He has clouted 81 home runs and drove in an average of 88 runs during that span. Johnny has established himself as one of the top sluggers in the loop. He was obtained from the Chicago White Sox in 1959. Wes Covington was formerly a member of the 1957 and 1958 pennant winning Milwaukee Braves. The veteran performer has been a clutch ballplayer for the Philadelphia Phillies for the past three seasons. Wes is a power hitter with fine batting average. He led the Sally League in hitting in 1955. His .330 average for Milwaukee was a prominent factor for the club's first place finish in 1958. Wes is rarin' to go in 1966.
When a pitcher twirls a no-hit game he is hailed as great. Most baseball men, however, give the hard-working catcher some credit for the feat. Val Picinich caught Joe Bush in a no-hit performance in 1916. He also served five years as catcher for the great Walter Johnson. Picinich jumped from the semi-pros to the big league in 1916. Since then he has played with Athletics, Senators, Red Sox, Reds and Dodgers. He is 36, a right-handed batter, five feet, nine inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. Last year he hit .257 in 41 games.
For the first three years of Jerry's career, he never touched a catcher's mask. Instead, the youngster split his duties between first base, third base and in the outfield. Jerry was converted to a catcher in 1961 and he developed into a fine defensive backstop in the White Sox farm chain.
