[edit] Biographical Information
Dan Porter was in the majors for 13 games in 1951. Much of his minor league career was spent at Chattanooga.
The book Baseball in Chattanooga has a photo of him, and notes he was a rarity - a left-handed hitter who did not choose to go for home runs in the direction of the close right-field wall.
