Pirates Face Bleak 1952 Season Amid Tough Odds
Pittsburgh Pirates confront a weak pitching staff and flawed infield with aging catchers and two power hitters, Ralph Kiner and Gus Bell. General Manager Branch Rickey and manager Bill Meyer acknowledge likely cellar status, hoping for future improvement as rookies Bob Del Greco and Dick Hall contend for openings. Continued uncertainty surrounds the infield shifts and rotation, including Howie Pollett, Mel Queen, and Bob Friend in a reshaped pitching corps.
