Steve Bilko Stats

Steve Bilko was born on Tuesday, November 13, 1928, in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. Bilko was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 22, 1949, 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 Steve Bilko baseball stats page.
"As a child watching the SF Seals and LA Angels face off at Seals Stadium, it seemed that the ground shook with each step as (Steve) Bilko carried his big bat to the plate. If there was ever a Paul Bunyan in that league, it was Bilko! He hit the ball harder, farther, and more often than them all." - Author PJ Dragseth (PJ Dragseth Books, Email sent to Baseball Almanac, 07/12/2008)
