Hall of Famer who played centerfield between Ruth and Meusel for some great Yankees teams. Mentor to Joe DiMaggio and whose popularity among players and fans rivaled that of Gehrig

Stobbs turned down a signing bonus because the rules at the time would have required him to spend two years in the majors before he was ready to pitch at that level. In 1947 Stobbs, his father who was his high school coach, and his younger brother who was the teams mascot, all got thrown out of the same high school game for different reasons

Promising career maybe sidetracked by 2 year stint in military during Korean war. Back up to Ted Williams who also served in Korean conflict

He did have Bob Uecker as a batterymate in 57 in the minors, and some of his cards do have a split S in his name on the front....which means Bob needs a regular version of the Ross card. George too

Ducky was the Cardinals first bonus baby and sat for two years on their bench doing little with no experience. Was thrown out of a game before ever appearing in one when he threw a towel at Augie Donatelli at the direction of Eddie Stanky. It was his only career ejection. Was on deck when Musial got hit 3000. Played behind Groat in Pittsburgh until Groat went to St Louis in 1963. Returned to St Louis in 1968 when they won the NL pennant

Was on the winning side in 4 of the 5 World Series he appeared in and was a solid contributor to the St Louis Cardinals Gas House Gang of the 40s. But could no hit worth a sh-t in any of the 5 Series in which he appeared
