George Caster Stats

George Caster was born on Sunday, August 4, 1907, in Colton, California. Caster was 27 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 10, 1934, with the Philadelphia Athletics. 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 George Caster baseball stats page.
"He'd (George Caster) throw his fast knuckler first, then follow with a good fast ball, then toss up the dancer. I've seen a lot of good hitters take all three pitches for strikes. And when they did swing at the fast one they'd better hit it for they wouldn't see it again." - Athletics Catcher Earle Brucker in Baseball Magazine (June 1947)
