After serving in World War II, Jethroe returned to the Memphis Red Sox and continued to impress on the field. In 1947, he was signed by the Boston Braves and sent to their minor league affiliate in Toronto. Two years later, Jethroe was called up to the Braves and made his MLB debut on April 18, 1950. He immediately made an impact, finishing the season with a .273 batting average, 18 home runs, and a league-leading 35 stolen bases. Despite his success, Jethroe’s major league career would be short-lived due to a knee injury that hampered his speed. He retired from baseball in 1959 and was later inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1972. Read even more about Sam Jethroe at Wikipedia
