Cliff Aberson was born on Sunday, August 28, 1921, in Chicago, Illinois. Aberson was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 18, 1947, with the Chicago Cubs. 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 Cliff Aberson baseball stats page.
"He (Cliff Aberson) was up and down with the Cubs from 1947 through 1949, never quite reaching the heights the Bruins had expected of him. He was a powerful man, standing 6-1 and weighing 200 pounds. He once wrestled -- and beat -- a gorilla, having less trouble with the ape than with the curve." - Cliff Aberson Obituary (The Sporting News, July 14, 1973)
