Card Castoff Jim Hearn Emerges as Giant Ace
The 1950 baseball piece tells how Jim Hearn, once a Georgia Tech standout and Cardinals castoff, blossomed with the New York Giants under Leo Durocher. It notes his bench time, late rise, and the price of talent in baseball, plus a detour into Sammy Urzetta’s unlikely amateur golf path and a long run of hole in one tournaments with 11,720 players and 58,600 shots, yielding only five aces.
