Bubba Church Stats

Bubba Church was born on Friday, September 12, 1924, in Birmingham, Alabama. Church was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 30, 1950, with the Philadelphia Phillies. 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 Bubba Church baseball stats page.

"He (Bubba Church) doesn't seem to be putting much on the ball, yet every pitch does something. His ball is alive. And he rarely wastes a pitch. He gets it over and makes them hit. He surprised me with his control. Few kids his age are as sharp hitting the corners of the plate." - Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andy Seminick in Baseball Magazine (July 1941)
