[edit] Biographical Information

First baseman Jack Phillips was signed by the New York Yankees in 1943 and spent that summer with the Norfolk Tars of the Piedmont League. He missed nearly all of 1944 and all of 1945 due to military service. After World War II, he returned to baseball and spent the next several seasons with the Newark Bears. He reached the majors with the Yankees in 1947 and won a World Series ring in his rookie campaign.

Following his playing days, Phillips managed for several seasons in the minors and was then baseball coach for 24 years at his alma mater, Clarkson University.

Phillips and Bill Bernhard are the only two major leaguers (through 2008) born in Clarence, NY. Phillips and Steve Roser are the only two major leaguers (through 2008) from Clarkson University.
