Wally started in Organized Baseball in 1940 with Elmira of Eastern League where he played 1 game. His start in majors was different, for in 1947, his first year with Pirates, he found himself a regular outfielder playing 112 games. He hit 273, 17 doubles, 4 triples, 17 homers and batted in 69 runs. Last season lie was in 132 games, and hit for .285, with 17 homers and 65 RBI.



The tallest Yankee was the top N.Y. lefty reliever again last season. Steve was credited with 9 saves as a fireman.



One of the most aggressive ball players of his time. "Buck" Herzog was a far better than average infielder. He played third, short, or second. He spent his entire major league career in the National League, playing with the New York Giants, Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago Cubs from 1908 through 1920. He was not a great hitter but his speed enabled him to get on base often - he stole a total of 320 bases. He was the shining light of the World Series for the New York Giants in 1912, batting .400 in 8 games, getting 12 hits.
