I was wondering how I get addresses for TTM auto requests. Your set makes me want to try to start a set of my own, but with a 50's reprint since my budget for cards is very small right now. Great job so far I enjoy the pictures of the ones you have so far. Ben
Torgeson was in Tommy Holmes' buddy network as was the primary reason why George Crowe got a late start with Boston, even though Torgeson was hitting .230 in 1952. Meanwhile these are the numbers Crowe was posting in the Minors.

Francis Fox (March 1, 1921 - October 9, 1955) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for three different teams between the 1944 and 1954 seasons. Listed at 6' 3", 210 lb., Fox batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Coburg, Oregon.
A hard thrower with a sharp curveball, Fox was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as a free agent in 1943 out of the University of Oregon. He entered the majors in 1945 with the Reds, playing for them seven years before joining the Philadelphia Phillies (1952) and Baltimore Orioles (1954). His most productive season came in 1950 for Cincinnati, when he went 11-8, a year after his 6-19 record made him the losingest pitcher in the major leagues. In 1951 he collected nine victories with a 3.83 ERA in a career-high 228 innings, but got 14 losses.
Before the 1952 season, Fox was dealt to Philadelphia in a seven-player transaction that included Smoky Burgess, Niles Jordan, Eddie Pellagrini, Connie Ryan, Andy Seminick and Dick Sisler. In 1953 he played for Triple-A Baltimore, and a year later pitched his last majors season for the Orioles.
In nine major league seasons career, Fox posted a 43-72 record with 342 strikeouts and a 4.33 ERA in 248 appearances, including 132 starts, 42 complete games, five shutouts, six saves, and 1,108¨÷ innings of work. A good-hitting pitcher, he was used to pinch-hit periodically. In 253 games he hit .189 with two home runs and 25 RBI.
Fox also played in the Venezuelan Winter League (1953-55) and in the 1954 Caribbean Series. After pitching in the Texas League in 1955, he was stabbed to death while fighting with three men in a tavern near to San Antonio, Texas. He was 34 years old at the time of his death.
thats why its good to have a gun permit-gun beats knife
If I recall correctly, I believe that Fox was either the bouncer or owner of the bar, or both. Don't worry Rube, it could be worse, you could be working on a '54 Topps set and need his card for that instead.
true, i didnt know how he died till today when i looked it up, for the 50's, i was shocked,and im old i figured he died in a car or plance crash or something

I have the autograph of virtually every Baltimore Oriole (1954-2000) and I'm glad I added this one about 25 years ago to my collection. It's a signed Gov't post card postmarked 03/08/50 (Tampa, FL).

I used to have a 51 Bowman for Fox. His autographs are scarce but not completely impossible, though I have yet to see a 52 Topps, 54 Topps, or 53 Bowman show up for sale. But then again I have been less than vigilant in my searches the past couple of years. I miss this one:
