Joe Gordon Stats

Joe Gordon was born on Thursday, February 18, 1915, in Los Angeles, California. Gordon was 23 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 18, 1938, with the New York Yankees. 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 Joe Gordon baseball stats page.
"He (Joe) was one of the greats of the game — a truly brilliant defensive player. To me, he was the perfect second baseman with his ability to turn the double play and hit for power in such a difficult hitter's park as Yankee Stadium. He made Phil Rizzuto and Lou Boudreau better. He wasn't just good, he was great."
