"The Pirates brought Jerry up for the 1954 season after a tremendous showing in the minors.
He started with Greenville in 1950 and hit .329, driving in 75 runs with 33 stolen bases. After two years in military service, he returned to Norfolk where he led the league in batting (.333) and RBIs (133) as well as hits, doubles and triples. The Pirates hope Jerry can do the same for them."
