Don't know that I've ever seen him in color in a New York Giants' uniform.

Burnside had a rough time at four different stops in the majors, so his status as the '50s equivalent of an elite prospect is all but forgotten. So's his education. Burnside had just finished his freshman year at Dartmouth when the Giants signed him in 1949. He not only got his degree in 1952 but after his pitching career ended in Japan in 1965 he got a master's at Northwestern and then proceeded to teach and coach at his old high school until his retirement in the early '90s.
