Tom Borland Stats

Tom Borland was born on Tuesday, February 14, 1933, in El Dorado, Kansas. Borland was 27 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 15, 1960, with the Boston Red Sox. 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 Tom Borland baseball stats page.
"I'm terribly nervous about pitching against the White Sox Wednesday (in Spring Training), but I believe even some of the oldtimers are a little shaky just before game time," he said with a grin. At Oklahoma A&M Tom readily admits that he majored in baseball. "I went four years, but I kept changing majors so much that now I am 30 hours short of a degree," he said. - Sports Writer George Kolb in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune (03/19/1958, 'Southpaw Tom Borland Joins Bosox', Fourth Section / Page 13)
