Name that player!

After coming through with his best season in the majors in '61, Don was traded to the Houston Colts last winter. A five year veteran with the Boston Red Sox, the shortstop is one of the sharpest fielders in the game. Don hit.292 for Louisville in '55 before he joined the Red Sox.

Who is it?


Now in his second year with the Houston Colts, Harry Craft worked wonders with the newly formed National League club in 1962. A slick fielding ballhawk during his playing days, Harry broke into organized ball in 1935. With Monessen that year, he led the old Pennsylvania State Association with 39 stolen bases. In 1937, Harry was brought up at the tail end of the season by Cincinnati where he hit .310. After spending his big league playing days with the Reds, the outfielder starred with the Kansas City in the American Association. In 1949, Harry managed his first ballclub and led them to a pennant. The following year, managing Joplin, Harry's club again won the pennant, with a special assist from a young player who batted .383, named Mickey Mantle. From 1957 to 1959, Harry Craft managed the Kansas City Athletics in the American League.
