He was in his seventh season in the Cleveland farm system and had batted .267 with 14 home runs and 80 runs batted in for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians[1] when he was recalled in September 1955. He started back-to-back games as a second baseman on September 24–25 during a Cleveland road trip to Detroit's Briggs Stadium. In his debut game, he was held hitless by Ned Garver and Paul Foytack,[2] but in his second contest, he collected his only MLB hit in his eighth and final at bat, a single off Tiger southpaw Bob Miller in the top of the ninth inning.[3] He played errorless ball in the field, handling 11 chances.
Pawloski played minor league baseball from 1949–1952 and 1954–1958, all in the Indians' system, and hit .267 lifetime.[1]
