[edit] Biographical Information

Jim Brideweser was a World War II veteran (BN). He was signed for the Yankees by scout Bill Essick in 1949 after graduating from USC. He played in the infield in 329 games for the Yankees, Orioles, White Sox and Tigers from 1951 through 1957.

Interestingly, he belted the only home run of his career in his final season, 1957 - a three run shot off of Boston Red Sox pitcher Frank Sullivan.

He had a great eye at the plate, striking out only 12.4% of the time.

Using the similarity scores method, Brideweser is most similar statistically to Jesse Levis.

After his death, he was cremated.
