Alvin Ralph Dark nicknamed "AI". Started in baseball with Boston in 1946 but was sent to Milwaukee in the American Association the next year. Bounced back to Boston in 1948 where he was Rookie Of The Year and was traded to the Giants in December of 1949, where he has been playing successfully since. A fine fielder, "AI" led the N.L. shortstops in double piays 1951-52; in '51 he also led league shortstops in putouts (295), assists (465), and doubles (41); in '52 again led in putouts (324).
Paul spent 7 years in the minors and 3 years in Military Service, before he got his first Big League trial with the Pirates in 1951. His best minor league years were 1946 at Bristol (20 wins and 181 Strikeouts) and 1949 at Hartford (14 wins and 162 Strikeouts). His 2.47 Earned Run Average at New Orleans in '50 earned Paul his trial. In '51 he had a 1-1 mark at Indianapolis and 2-2 at New Orleans.
MY BIGGEST THRILL IN BASEBALL: That came in 1950 when I was called up from Kansas City and won nine straight games for the Yanks. I'll never forget one of those games. It was in Detroit, late in the season, and we were tied with them for first place. DiMaggio hit a homer off Dizzy Trout in the early innings, and we held that lead until Wertz and Priddy hit doubles in the eighth inning to tie it at 1-1. In the ninth we got 6 runs and won 7-1 to go into first place, and stay there for the pennant.
