1955 Yankee of the Past: Harry Byrd

"Harry became an Oriole in a winter deal that involved many Yankees and Orioles. He was in 25 games for the New Yorkers in 1954, winning 9 and losing 7. He had two fine years with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1952 and 1953, and if he can regain that form he can be a valuable addition to the Orioles' staff.
He began in baseball with Martinsville of the Carolina League and first came to the majors for a brief stay at the start of the 1950 season. He was 15-15 in 1952 and 11-20 in 1953. These records were with weak-hitting teams."
