In six full seasons with the Cleveland Indians, "Hal" Trosky has never failed to drive in at least 100 runs. Trosky is one of the longest and most dangerous hitters in the American League, last year hitting .335 and batting across 104 runs. He won the runs- batted-in crown with 162 in 1936. He is also an adroit fielder, finishing right up with the leaders. Trosky's outstanding feat as an Indian was hitting 42 homers in 1936, a record for a Cleveland player. He has failed to hit 25 or more a season only once. Trosky came to the Indians late in the 1933 season, and the following year, his first full one, got 206 hits and batted .330.
Virgil made a great comeback in 1953, winning 20 games for the first time in his major league career, and losing 10. His 2.93 earned run average was third best in the league. He struck out 149 men, second high in the league. Virg began the season with the St. Louis Browns, and after 16 games was sent to Chicago. Preceding season Virgil compiled one of the oddest records any pitcher ever amassed. Won 5 and lost 19. First and last of five wins were no-hitters.
