Emerson Dickman

George Emerson Dickman (November 12, 1914 – April 27, 1981) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Boston Red Sox (1936, 1938–1941).

A two-sport star at Washington and Lee University, Dickman was one of many major leaguers who saw his baseball career interrupted when he joined the Navy during World War II.

In a five-season career, Dickman posted a 22–15 record with 126 strikeouts and a 5.33 ERA and in 125 appearances, including 24 starts, six complete games, one shutout, eight saves and 349.2 innings pitched.

Following his playing retirement, Dickman became a highly respected coach at Princeton University for three years.

Dickman was regularly ribbed for his resemblance to film star Robert Taylor.
