The Yankees made a big trade for the 47 season with the Indians.

Who did they trade?
Who did they get?

Is that when the Yanks got Allie Reynolds?......not sure, but I think I heard that Allie had been with the Indians....If not, I will be interested to hear who changed clubs.

The Yanks traded Joe Gordon for Allie Reynolds.Bill Veeck offered The Yanks a choice Red Embree or Allie Reynolds (the Super Chief) The brass asked DiMag his opinion, he said go get Allie.:D :NY: :NY: :NY: :NY:

Thanks.....guessed one right......Allie was the mainstay of the staff (along with Raschi and Lopat) when I started following the Yanks...Also Gordon was gone, but I wasn't smart enough to put it together. Guess Gordon helped the Indians win in '48....and Allie certainly helped the Yankees.
