1957 Yankee of the Past: Bob Porterfield

"Bob had tough sledding last season, seeing limited action with his new Boston teammates. 
He didn't have the chance to show the same brilliant form that made him the top hurler in the league with the Senators in 1953. That year he led the loop in wins (22), complete games (24) and shutouts (9). He was voted the 1953 Sporting News AL Pitcher of the Year.
This season will be Bob's 12th professional baseball campaign."
