"Jackie, a former All-America football player at the University of California, began the 1952 season with the New York Yankees, and after playing in seven games for the New Yorkers, he was traded to Washington. He proved one of the brightest spots in the Senators' season.
He spent 1950 with the Yankees, and divided 1951 between the Yanks and Kansas City."

"After two seasons of little action with the Yankees, Jackie was traded to the Senators early in 1952 and there enjoyed his best season since entering organized baseball in 1949. He ranked third in stolen bases and led the Nats in hits and RBIs.
An All-American football star at the University of California, Jackie was a bonus player with Oakland in '49. He stuck with the Yankees in 1950 and split the '51 season between the Yanks and Kansas City."
