One of the most promising pitching prospects ever signed by the Baltimore Orioles, Jim joined the parent club after hurling just one season in the minors. While pitching in the Northern League in 1964, the left-hander spun a no-hitter against Duluth-Superior. The high-priced bonus player is handy with a bat, helping himself out with his hitting ability on numerous occasions. Jim attracted many big league scouts while pitching for his Arizona high school.
Batted .289 in 125 games in 1950. Drove in 62 runs. Began 1949 season with White Sox. After 4 games, switched to Detroit. In 126 games for the Bengals, hitting .294. Played in the outfield and at all 3 bases. Tried out briefly with the White Sox in 1940, but first full season in majors was 1942. In that year Don hit 40 doubles to lead League. In service, 1944-45. Back with Sox, 1946.
MY ADVICE TO YOUNGSTERS by Rip Repulski. My advice is never give up. Things really get rough in baseball when you start out. They are still pretty rough at times. I have played every classification in baseball and know. My trouble was getting down when things were going bad - but not any more. You learn that as you go along. I'm not saying not to worry, because everyone worries at one time or another. Just don't let it show. Keep giving the game all you've got.
