"Hank was such a sensation in high school that he was signed by the Yankees at the age of 18. It was no surprise to the Foiles family since Hank's dad was a star in the old Virginia League in 1911 and 1912.
Starting in Manchester in 1948, Hank was called up by Cincinnati for a trial in '53. After being sold to Cleveland, he went to Indianapolis where he hit a lusty .332 in 1954."
