[edit] Biographical Information
Once heralded as a future star, Jay Porter broke into the Majors with the St. Louis Browns at the tender age of 19, but never established himself as a starter during his short career. He missed the 1953-1954 seasons due to military service.
After his playing career, Porter served as a minor league manager, including with the GCL Expos in 1969 and the West Palm Beach Expos in 1970, for whom he had a combined winning percentage of .604 (110-72). Porter also managed the Montreal Expos' entry in the 1969 Florida Instructional League.
He still attends the annual Browns alumni/fan club festivities in St. Louis on a regular basis.
