MY BIGGEST THRILL
"Baseball is a game of many thrills, but my own came on May 5, 1953. You know how they say a pitcher always remembers his hits; well, this is the day I hit a home run with the bases loaded. Not only was it a thrill hitting my first homer, but there was also the added thrill of having it a grand slam. I'll never forget it."
-Bob Porterfield, 1955 Bowman No. 104
"Bob is a hard worker on the mound, and a most efficient one. He tied for the most complete games in the American League in 1954 with 21, starting 32. With a weak-hitting team behind him, his won-lost record was 13-15.
1953 was Bob's most successful year in the majors and an indication of what he can accomplish on the mound. His 22 wins led the league and he lost 10 games."
