Greek George Stats

Greek George was born on Wednesday, December 25, 1912, in Waycross, Georgia. George was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 30, 1935, 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 Greek George baseball stats page.
"Greek George finally got a 90-day suspension for pushing Umpire Joe Rue, but that didn't necessarily win him his place here. I pick him for his ability to do three things at one time: catch, umpire and second guess the play of his teammates. George also was the only player who ever get me fined. I got fed up with his superior attitude about his vocabulary, and showed him I could top it. He reported what I said to his club president, who reported it to the league and I was fined twenty-five dollars. It was worth it." - Hall of Fame Umpire Bill Summers in Baseball Digest (September 1960, 'What I didn't TELL during 27 YEARS of big league umpiring', Page 37)
