He played for the Boston/New York Yanks from 1947 to 1950.[1][2] Vogelaar was a pilot in the United States Marine Corps during World War II, where he was credited with shooting down a Japanese Mitsubishi Ki-46 on July 23rd, 1945 while a member of Marine Fighter Squadron 351.[3] In 1951 following his retirement from football, Vogelaar purchased and owned the Fern Valley Lodge near Idyllwild, California but sold it to the Kwikset Employees Trust in 1953.[4]
