Tommy Byrne was a very good hitting Pitcher. I met him in 1991 at the BB card Show in Westfield, NJ.
A very friendly guy, he visited with most of the dealers, at the end of the Show. Tommy and I enjoyed reminiscing about BB during the late 1940's thru to the late 1950's. A fine example of Tommy's pinch-hitting ability on 5/16/1953, White Sox Mg Paul Richards summoned Tommy from the bullpen to-hit for infielder Vern Stephens with the bases loaded and 2 men out in the 9th inning. Right-handed pitcher Ewell Blackwell had just entered the game for the New York Yankees. Byrne recalled.... I go up to bat, and after working the count to 2-2, I hit a Grand Slam HR into Right- Field seats to win the game.  TED Z T206 Reference .
