NL Transaction May 31st
The Cincinnati Redlegs placed 26 year old pitcher Corky Valentine on the DL. Valentine had a very good rookie year in 1954 going 16-9 in 28 starts with a 3.84 ERA and making the NL All Star squad. This year he was 3-1 in 5 starts with a 5.06 ERA in 27 innings pitched. Unable to replicate his success from last year the Redlegs found he had been concealing arm troubles. Valentine would never pitch in the big leagues again.
