[edit] Biographical Information
"Red" lasted 10 years as a catcher with the White Sox and Tigers mostly. A career .258 hitter, he did not have a season with 300 at bats, though as a platoon player he was effective. Hit .299 in 1958. Had an unusual bottle shaped body, which must have helped him block the plate.
