"His Walk About" - Drews played for four teams during his eight years in the bigs.  He retired with a record of 44-53 and a 4.76 ERA.  He won a World Series Ring with the Yankees in 1947, appearing in 2 games and throwing 3 innings.

"That's Not a Knife" - It's a Staten Island Native.  Drews is in the small club of New Yorker City kids that have taken the field for the Yankees. 

"More of a love bite really..." - The corners and edges on this card show the wear and tear of 70 years of being traded and sold.

"Down Under" - Drews is card #352 in the 1952 set, that's a high number that I don't have.  I wish I did, because it's a nice looking card that I much prefer to his '53.  Drews looks more like a coach than a player on his '53. That cuts the '53 set's lead to 35-32-7.
