"Gene's big-league career really began when the Yankees brought him up in 1949 after he hit a league leading .385 for San Francisco. He averaged .283 for New York for the next six years, including .318 in five World Series.
He was named Minor League Player of the Year in 1948. During five pennant drives, Gene was the hero of many important Yankee victories."
