"A consistent long ball threat, Dale was homer king of two minor leagues before coming to the majors. His amazing record of homers in eight consecutive games was set in 1956 when he was a Pirate.
One of the most gifted players in the game, he played two games as a catcher in '58- even though he's a lefty! Dale used a first baseman's mitt to catch against the Dodgers."
-1959 Topps No. 414
