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.

[Michaels07]

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.

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.
