"Son of Herman Pillette, a former Reds and Tigers pitcher and Pirate scout, 'Dee' came to the Browns from the Yankees in June 1950. Breaking with Newark in 1946, the former Santa Clara University star got his first big league trial with the Yankees in 1949 and had a 2-4 record. He was sent to Kansas City for 1950 and when he was traded the Browns brought him up.
At St. Louis in 1950 he had a 3-5 mark, pitching well at season's end."
