"After hitches with the Indians, Yankees and old St. Louis Browns, Sherm became a fixture behind the plate with the White Sox in 1952. A top defensive catcher, he confers with the manager and the starting pitcher before games.
Sherm knows the weaknesses of every batter in the league. As a batter, he once got hit three times in one game."

Sherm Lollar, American League All-Star, Catcher
"Sherm's great strength lies in his ability to handle pitchers. His knowledge of a hitter's weaknesses is invaluable to members of the Sox pitching staff.
Ever on the lookout to improve his game, he's one of baseball's keenest students and although not a renowned slugger, Sherm gets his share of hits, including the long ones."
