Wally was the No. 1 outfielder in the National League in 1950 with a .991 fielding average. Although he has yet to hit .300 in his 5 years in the majors, he's a top-notch long ball hitter. A World War II veteran, Wally came up to the Pirates in 1947 after hitting .315 at Oakland. He held down a regular outfield spot until he was tried at 3rd base in 1951. When he was traded to the Cardinals in 1951, he went back to outfielding.
