Floyd Baker Stats

Floyd Baker was born on Tuesday, October 10, 1916, in Luray, Virginia. Baker was 26 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 4, 1943, with the St. Louis Browns.

"(Floyd) Baker turned down a football scholarship to sign with the (St. Louis) Browns. After an unimpressive beginning epitomized by his two strikeouts as a pinch hitter in the 1944 World Series, Baker developed into one of the best fielders in the A.L." - Author William Brashler in BaseballLibray.com
