"Bob, who was traded from the Yankees to Washington in June of 1951, had a good season in 1952. He has been a hard-luck pitcher with injuries hitting him just as he appeared about to hit his stride. However, his earned run rating in 1952 shows what he can do.
Bob first hit the majors in 1948 when he was called up by the Yanks after amassing a 15-6 record for Newark."

"Most of Bob's major league career has been hampered by injuries. From his earned run average in 1952, he showed that he's back in form.
In the Yankee chain since he broke into pro ball in 1946, Bob got his first shot in the majors in '48 with the Yankees after piling up a 15-6 record and 2.17 ERA at Newark that season. He spent the 1950 season between Kansas City and the Yanks and was traded to the Senators during the '51 season."

"A good pitcher, Bob nevertheless has been a 'tough luck' fellow, suffering injuries that set him back in his career. However, he had a nice season in 1952, his first full year with the Senators. He appeared in 31 games, winning 13 and losing 14. An indication of his pitching ability may be found in his earned run average, the seventh-best in the league, 2.73."
