Al Aber Stats

Al Aber was born on Sunday, July 31, 1927, in Cleveland, Ohio. Aber was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 15, 1950, with the Cleveland Indians. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Al Aber baseball stats page.

"I could catch (Billy) Hoeft with a fielder's glove. Although he's fast, he throws a 'light' ball that makes it easy on the catcher. Al Aber, another leftie [sic] on our staff, is tough to catch because he throws a 'heavy' ball." - Detroit Tigers Catcher Frank House in Sport (June 1956, Tommy Devine)
