Card Castoffs and Giants Ace Jim Hearn Story
The article recounts Jim Hearn’s rise from a Georgia Tech standout to a Giants ace after a rocky career with St Louis. It notes Leo Durocher’s faith, Hearn’s bench time, and a later breakout season, while asking why Cardinals let a valuable pitcher go. It also shares golf anecdotes about Sam Urzetta’s unlikely amateur success and a long history of hole-in-one bets and trials.
