Alvin Crowder was born on Wednesday, January 11, 1899, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Crowder was 27 years old when he broke into the big leagues on July 24, 1926, with the Washington Senators. 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 Alvin Crowder baseball stats page.
"He (General Crowder) had a fast ball that didn't look fast. What it had after Crowder came out of his lazy delivery was considerable 'sneak.' And what Crowder had otherwise was considerable shrewdness and a motion to first base that discouraged base stealers." - Author Shirley Povich in The Washington Senators (Shirley Povich, 1954)
