Braves Infielder Dick Cole
Image
Milwaukee Braves infielder Dick Cole poses at County Stadium in 1957. The Braves traded Jim Pendleton to the Pirates for Cole on April 3, 1957. Cole, whose major league career spanned 1951-1957, appeared in 15 games at first, second and third base for the Braves in 1957. Though his versatility helped shore up the Braves injury-riddled lineup, Cole failed to hit well. He was sent down to the Braves' Wichita farm club in July to make room on the roster for outfielder Bob Hazle.
