EARL HARRIST
"Earl was used almost exclusively in relief roles for the Browns in 1952. He didn't pitch in the majors in '49, '50 and '51, but did quite a bit of relief tossing for the White Sox and Senators in '47 and '48.
Earl has been in pro ball since 1938. He got into 14 games for the Reds in '45 and had a 15-10 record with Syracuse of the International League in '46. With Oakland, Earl chalked up an 18-8 record in '50 and 16-16 in '51."

JOHNNY RIDDLE
"Johnny was player-manager of Birmingham for three years and coach of the Pirates for an equal length of time before joining the Cardinals' coaching staff.
His active career stretched from 1927 through 1948. He caught for the White Sox in 1930, the Senators in '37, the Braves in '37 and '38, the Reds in '41, '44 and '45 and the Pirates in '48. Johnny's best year at the plate was 1947 when he hit .338 for Indianapolis."
