1958 Yankee of the Past: Gerry Staley

"Gerry bolstered an already strong Chicago pitching staff last year. He was frequently called in out of the bullpen to stifle rallies and he rarely gave the hitters anything good to hit. Last season he posted a handsome 2.06 earned run average.

Gerry was a big winner for the Cardinals through five seasons."
