"Eddie had never been in the majors until July 26, 1948, when he took over as manager of the Phillies. It wasn't long before the Whiz Kids were whizzing but good.
Eddie began his playing career in 1934. In 1939, as player-manager at Amsterdam, he led the league with a .369 batting average. He was managing the Toronto Maple Leafs when called to the Phils."
