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 Dave DeBusschere baseball stats page.

"In basketball (NBA player for 12 years), for one, the statistics don't mean a thing — there is no real value in that scoresheet. Sure, it says that so-and-so had thirty points and fifteen rebounds, but it certainly doesn't show that the man he was guarding may have scored forty points." - Dave DeBusschere in The New York Times (October 1974)
