"The stocky, rugged backstop was one of the American League's outstanding rookies in 1952. He led American League catchers in fielding with a percentage of .996. He was in 113 games and he made only two errors in 549 chances. He held his own in the batting department, hitting .286 and driving in 50 runs.
He came to the Brownies from the Yankee organization."

"In 1952 Clint was named the [Sporting News AL] Rookie of the Year and also had the best fielding average among AL catchers. The only catcher in baseball to wear glasses, Clint broke into pro ball in '47, hit .349 for Manchester in '49 and .294 for Kansas City in '51. He played one game for the Yankees at the end of '51 and was traded to the Browns."
