KEN SILVESTRI
"Ken caught 11 games in 1950 and hit .250. But Ken's great value to the Phils is through his work in helping to train the young pitchers.
He hit the majors with the White Sox in 1939 but finished the season with St. Paul. Back with the Sox in 1940, Ken was traded to the Yankees at the end of the campaign. In military service for the next four seasons, he played for the Yanks and their farm clubs on his return. Ken then went to the Phillies in 1949."

DICK STARR
"Dick made 32 mound appearances in 1950. He won seven games and lost five.
He began in organized baseball with Butler of the Pennsylvania League in 1941 and compiled a 14-7 record. He won 18 and lost five for the same club in 1942, then spent the next three years in military service.
Dick returned to chalk up 19 wins against 10 losses for Augusta in 1946. With Newark in 1947, he was up to the Yankees at the end of the season, then to the Browns for the 1948 campaign."
