Summary provided by the Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011.
Yankees catcher Charlie Silvera (#29) only caught two games in Boston during the 1951 season and Dom DiMaggio hit a home run in both of them (July 6 and 7). The home run on July 7 scored pitcher Mel Parnell -- likely shown wearing the warm-up jacket to keep his arm warm, even in July (Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011).
