1952 Yankee of the Past: George Stirnweiss

"A great football star at the University of North Carolina, Snuffy has been in the majors since 1942, coming up with the Yankees. He holds two big league records for second basemen- highest fielding percentage (.993) and fewest errors (5)- both set in 1948.
In 1944, Snuffy led the American League in stolen bases (55), runs and hits. In 1945, he led the league in batting (.309), slugging, stolen bases, triples, runs and hits.
Traded to the Browns in 1950, he came to the Indians in 1951."
