"Being traded to the Athletics during the 1956 season was good luck for Hal. He improved his batting average by 13 points after joining the Kansas City crew. Although he played in less than half as many games with the A's as he did for the Orioles, he drove in more runs for Kansas City and scored almost as often.
After spending five years in the minors, Hal caught fire in '54 and led the American Association in batting to win a promotion to the Yankees."
