Became starting Cardinals catcher in 1954 after injury to Del Rice. In one game because of intense heat neither he nor his opposing catcher Stan Lopata wore a chest protector

Al...I'll be contributing again here soon...was in the hospital! A week and a half ago I had by appendix burst...crazy but true. For those out there...if your feeling lower abdomen pain get it checked out, do not ignore it...I should have listened to my wife...I was lucky...but still recovering. Back soon... |
John- glad you are on the mend. I have tried the leaking appendix myself and agree with you that it should be avoided if at all possible

Powerful hitter whose weight issues kept him in mostly a back up role. Developed reputation as a clutch pinch hitter in the early 60s for the Cardinals. From a poor Polish mining family, became good friends with a teammate from a similar background, Stan Musial.
