Red Faber Stats

Red Faber was born on Thursday, September 6, 1888, in Cascade, Iowa. Faber was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 17, 1914, with the Chicago White Sox. 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 Red Faber baseball stats page.
"Actually it (the spitball) is an effective pitch when mastered, no more difficult to control than any other. Leaders of the saliva set like Red Faber, Clarence Mitchell, Bill Doak and Burleigh Grimes were no wilder than their arid playmates, and if the records were to show that Grimes potted more batsmen than some of his contemporaries, that should be attributed to his combative disposition, not his moist delivery." - Red Smith in Red Smith on Baseball (2000)
