Vollmer Steps In For Ted Williams In Red Sox Shift
Clyde Vollmer, previously a lesser outfielder traded from Washington, was thrust into left field when Ted Williams fractured a left elbow in Chicago. In his first game Vollmer delivered a home run and two doubles, signaling a chance to prove himself after a strong 1948 playoff run with Syracuse and a less stellar 1949 stint with Washington. The deal, seen as the biggest International League trade of the year, put Vollmer in position to seize regular work under manager Steve ONeill.
