Pages 12-17 feature "Stars of the National League"
Arroyo had a great first half (9-2 at the end of June) but finished 1955 at 11-8.
1955 was Hank Aaron's first All-Star Game
Willie Mays had a fair year in 1955, .319 average, 13 triples, 51 homers, 127 RBI and 24 stolen bases.
The St. Louis guys are in the Hall of Fame. Newk went 20-5 in '55. Johnny Logan led the league in doubles in 1955 with 37. The guy that I was intrigued by is Del Ennis. I've never heard of him (Sorry Phillies fans) but he had a pretty awesome career.
If you haven't noticed I'm giving away some great cards to celebrate my 500th post. Click here for details.
