[edit] Biography

Born on August 6, 1903 in Antioch, Tennessee, Jim Turner (James Riley Turner) played for the Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees over the course of his 9 year career. Turner broke into the bigs on April 30, 1937 with the Boston Braves, and put up a 2.38 ERA in 256.2 innings pitched in 1937, his rookie year.

Most people believe that Jim Turner's best season was 1937, when he posted a 2.38 ERA, won 20 games and struck out 69 batters.

He led the National League in earned run average in 1937 as a rookie with Boston. Because he worked for his family's dairy farm in the offseason, he was known as "Milkman Jim" to his fans. Following his playing career, he went on to serve as pitching coach for the Reds and Yankees.

For his career, Turner compiled a 69-60 record in 231 games, with a 3.22 earned run average and 329 strikeouts. He was a member of two World Series championship teams, the 1940 Reds and the 1943 Yankees, as well as the 1942 Yankees team that won the American League pennant. In two postseason appearances, Turner was 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA and 4 strikeouts in 7 innings pitched.
