Dave Koslo
[edit] Biography
Born on March 31, 1920 in Menasha, Wisconsin, Dave Koslo (George Bernard Koslo) played for the New York Giants, Milwaukee Braves and Baltimore Orioles over the course of his 12 year career. Koslo broke into the bigs on September 12, 1941 with the New York Giants, and put up a 5.08 ERA in 78 innings pitched in 1942, his rookie year.
