Offseason

*November 27, 1951: Joe DeMaestri was traded by the Chicago White Sox with Gordon Goldsberry, Dick Littlefield, Gus Niarhos, and Jim Rivera to the St. Louis Browns for Al Widmar, Sherm Lollar, and Tom Upton. [http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/demaejo01.shtml]

Regular Season

In 1952, Rogers Hornsby, an alleged former member of the Ku Klux Klan, took over as manager of the Browns. Despite past accusations of racism, Hornsby was less hesitant to use Paige than Boudreau was four years before. Paige was so effective that when Hornsby was fired by Veeck, his successor Marty Marion seemed not to want to risk going more than three games without using Paige in some form. By July 4, with Paige having worked in 25 games, Casey Stengel named him to the American League All-Star team, making him the first black pitcher on an AL All-Star team. The All-Star game was cut short after five innings due to rain and Paige never got in. Stengel resolved to name him to the team the following year. Paige finished the year 12-10 with a 3.07 ERA for a team that lost ninety games.
