Miller farmer sparks Yankees out of doldrums in 1944
Hershel Ray Martin, a six foot two, 190 pound Missouri farmer, joins the New York Yankees and steadies the outfield and bats. He arrives from Milwaukee for Ed Levy and cash, reviving a club that dropped 14 of 17 on a brutal road trip. The Yankees beat Boston 7 1 in the first game of a doubleheader before weather halted the second game. Browns lead remains two games as Martin heads to St. Louis for crucial series. Martin, a switch hitter and right-handed thrower, planned to run a drugstore in St. Louis during off seasons.
