Jim Bibby Stats

Jim Bibby was born on Sunday, October 29, 1944, in Franklinton, North Carolina. Bibby was 27 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 4, 1972, with the St. Louis Cardinals. 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 Jim Bibby baseball stats page.
"Jim Bibby, who for reasons known only to himself went by the 'stage name' of Fontay O'Rooney, was by no means a complete major league pitcher. But he threw a vicious fastball -- 'serious heat . . . severe gas' -- that would scare the bejesus out of most American League batters." - Author Mike Shropshire in Seasons in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and "The Worst Baseball Team in History" - The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers (Bison Books, 03/01/2005)
