Major League Baseball Player. The pitcher spent eight years in the big leagues with the Washington Senators (1943 to 1944 and 1946 to 1949) and the Philadelphia Phillies (1950 to 1951). He was in the New York Yankees' system, but they traded him with second baseman Gerry Priddy on Jan. 29, 1943 to the Senators for pitcher Bill Zuber and cash. The right-hander won his seven decisions in 1943, when he had an 11-7 record with a 2.49 earned run average. He spent all the 1945 season in the military. After pitching in three games for the Senators in 1949, he was sent to Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, where he had a 15-9 record. The Phillies took him in the major league draft. He finished with a 26-21 record, 3.92 ERA and 13 complete games in 37 starts and five shutouts.
