Did a pitcher named Tom Page play for the Yankees during the 1950's?

Answer

Teh baseball Encyclopedia does not list a pitcher by the name of Tom Page (or Paige, either).

There was a Joe Page who was a well known relief pitcher for the Yankees from 1944 - 1950.

Answer

According to the 1957 Little Red Book of Baseball, there was a pitcher named Page who pitched for New York, AL, in the 1947-49 World Series. He won 2, lost 1. Unfortunately, no first name is listed. I have a ticket stub for one of those games, when I research it, I will update with further info, if found.

December 23, 2005 I was at a Dentist's Office in Mission Viejo, California when a Senior Citizen was leaving the Building, we stopped to speak for a few moments when I asked about his occupation. He is now retired in Northern San Diego County. He told me back in the 1950's he had played baseball with the New York Yankees. His name was "TOM PAGE". I did confirm the spelling of his last name as I attended High School with a "PAIGE". I did not receive any additional information, but the gentleman seemed quite sincere and I believe he is the Tom Page who played for the Yankees.
