"Bill" Knickerbocker, who would be a reguar on any other team, is the handy man for the Yankee infield. He can, and has played second, third and short; is a brilliant fielder, and a dangerous hitter in the pinches. He came up with Cleveland in 1933, after two seasons with Toledo, and held down the regular shortstop post for the Indians until traded to the Browns in 1937. The Browns sent "Knick" to the Yankees for Don Heffner and cash, in 1938. While he has not seen too much action with the world champs, he has proved an aggressive, hustling, capable player whenever used. His lifetime batting mark is close to .300, and he has driven across 310 runs.
