1955 Yankee Prospect of the Past: Hank Sauer

"Hank promised himself that 1954 would be his best major league season to date. Always a gentleman, he kept his promise and delighted Cub fans by belting more homers and posting a higher batting average than ever before.
Hank also had a great year in '52, winning the R.B.I. title and tying for home run honors with 37, to win the National League's Most Valuable Player award."

"Hank had a great year in '54, hitting his mark in homers and R.B.I.'s. One of the top power hitters in baseball, he was the N.L.'s Most Valuable Player in '52."
