"Dick came to the Browns in an early 1952 trade. He hits a long ball, and his left-handed batting stance is expected to send many balls over the short right field wall in Sportsmans Park.
He hit .287 in 119 games for Detroit in 1951. He had 12 homers, four triples and 19 doubles."

"After serving on the Navy carrier Ticonderoga during World War II, Dick entered organized ball in 1946. Hitting .396 at Wellsville in '46 and .294 at Kansas City in '48, the Yanks called him up. He hit .294 for them in 54 games in '49 and they sent them to Oakland where he finished the season with a .328 mark.
In 1950 he came up again as a Tiger, but was sent to Toledo and batted .333. Recalled by the Tigers in '51, Dick was traded to the Browns in 1952."
