"One of the most efficient and tireless workers in baseball, Ellis pitched in the most Red Sox games last season. In 1953, he set the all-time American League record by hurling in 69 games.
A veteran of 17 seasons in pro ball, Ellis came to Boston after three years with the St. Louis Browns. He led the A.L. in '49 with the top won-lost percentage (.793) while posting 23 victories and six shutouts."
