Gordy Coleman Stats

Gordy Coleman was born on Thursday, July 5, 1934, in Rockville, Maryland. Coleman was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 19, 1959, with the Cleveland Indians. 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 Gordy Coleman baseball stats page.

"If there's anything the big Red first baseman likes better than a base hit, it's a good meal. The club's brass thinks he eats too many of them. They warned him he was going to eat his way out of the major leagues if he didn't curb his appetite." - Sportswriter Earl Lawson in the Brainerd Daily Dispatch (September 1964)
