1954 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Hank Sauer

"A fractured hand kept Hank from playing the entire 1953 season. In '52 he was elected the National League's Most Valuable Player, blasting 37 homers and leading the league with 121 RBI's.
Hank started in 1937 and was with Cincinnati before joining the Cubs in '49. Since then, he's averaged 30 homers per year. In '52, Hank smashed a two-run homer in the All-Star Game, beating the AL All-Stars 3-2."

"Henry John Sauer has been in organized baseball since 1937 when he started with the Butler, Pennsylvania club. Traded to the Cubs on June 15, 1949, he and his big bat have been of tremendous value to that organization.
Hank was named 'Top Player' in the National League by The Sporting News, 1952; named Most Valuable Player, National League, 1952; and was an outfielder on the 1952 All-Star Team. He also led the National League in home runs (37) and RBIs (121) in 1952."
