Antonelli received the biggest bonus in history to that point when he signed with the Braves for $65,000 in 1948. Rules at the time mandated that he spend two full years on the big league club for receiving a large bonus, but he was little used and then served in Korea. By the time he became a regular in 1953, he showed little of his initial promise. He was dealt to the Giants along with several other players for Bobby Thomson.

The trade ended up being a steal for the Giants. Thompson fractured his ankle early in the 1954 season while Antonelli went 21-7, led the league in ERA (2.30), was selected an All-Star, and led the Giants to a pennant, facing the Cleveland Indians in the World Series. Antonelli started and won Game 2, then came into Game 4 as a reliever to shut down an Indian rally, as the Giants pulled off a surprising sweep. Antonelli pitched well for several more years, making four straight All-Star teams from 1956-59, before his skills suddenly faded.
