Welcome to the thread, Snowman. I've been hoping you'd show some of your fab 54's!

Mel

27 complete games in 1949

After two 18-win seasons in 1950 and 1951, and a 12–12 record in 1952, Parnell went 21–8 in 1953 with a 3.06 ERA and a career-high 136 strikeouts. On July 14, 1956, he no-hit the Chicago White Sox, 4–0, at Fenway Park. The no-hitter was the first for a Red Sox pitcher since Howard Ehmke in 1923, though this would prove the final highlight of Parnell's career, which would come to a premature end after the 1956 season, due to a torn muscle in his pitching arm. It would take 52 years until another Red Sox lefty would throw a no-hitter, a feat accomplished by Jon Lester in 2008.

Parnell still holds the Red Sox career mark for left-handed pitchers in games started, innings and victories.

Thanks. I'll try to follow along. I love this set! My conditions vary, but I try to have centered copies. I'm about 90% complete toward that goal, and only about 10% left to upgrade. I can see the finish line from here though :)

I wonder if he thought it was cool being called Puddin Head, or if he slugged people that called him that

In 1963 Groat along with Boyer, White and Javier made up an all Cardinal infield for the NL in that year's All Star game

As I scan and prep my 54's it's nice to see this set in much better condition than my 53's...:)

His 20 wins in 1951 represented 38% of the total wins by the Browns that year

Explain, please! Why are we going from ducks to chickens here?

In 54 Salesman Samples has sticker as opposed to later printed backs. The sticker was removed from mine. Maybe Anthony can post one of his "whole" ones
