"Dale is the homer king of the Pirate squad. Last season he belted eight circuit smashes- a feat never done before!
Starting in baseball in 1944, Dale split his time between the outfield and pitching. However, in 1950 when he led the Eastern League in homers and runs batted in, he knew he belonged in the lineup daily and dropped hurling. The Pirates once wanted to make Dale a lefty catcher!"
