[edit] Personal

  • Resided in Sacramento, California in 1952 and 1953.

  • Smashing a 370 foot home run against the Sacramento scoreboard while playing semi-pro ball was his greatest thrill.

  • Attended Elk Grove High School.
  • Won the athletic sportsmanship award twice in high school.
  • Played American Legion ball.

[edit] Outside of baseball

  • Was a farmer during the off-season in 1952.
