Well, like Howard, I guess my IQ is at least "385"....thank you. Had I logged in before Howard, I would have
said Garver without even thinking about anyone else.

I was a young kid in 1951 and an avid Yankees fan when Ned Garver won 20 games with the St. Lo. Browns.

Besides Bobby Thomson's famous HR that year, Garver was the "talk of the town" (that is in NY). The strong
rumors were that the Yankees were very interested in Ned. Instead, Garver was traded to Detroit the follow-
ing year. Garver never again had a season like 1951. I met him once at a BB card show, a really nice guy.
