New York Giants pitcher Al Corwin didn’t have an incredible 1953 campaign on the mound with his 4.98 ERA. However, he did manage to get a few hits at the plate. As a result, the spot starter got a pretty tasty card.
For his one double, one triple and two homeruns, APBA appropriately awarded him a 1-1-2-6. In addition, Corwin received two 7s, three 8s and two 9s.

Al Corwin only lasted five years in the majors (1951-1955 all with the Giants) but he did manage a winning record (18-10) and a respectable ERA (3.98). Never once though, did he achieve his hitting glory that he had in 1953. As a matter of fact, only one other year did he have two hits in a season.
