Willie Keeler Stats

Willie Keeler was born on Sunday, March 3, 1872, in Brooklyn, New York. Keeler was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 30, 1892, with the New York Giants. 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 Willie Keeler baseball stats page.
"At 5-4 and only 140 pounds, Willie Keeler is one of the smallest men to ever play Major League baseball. Being one of the smallest men, it is no surprise that he used the smallest bat in history. His offensive weapon was only 30 inches and weighed only 29 ounces. In 1894, he began a streak of eight seasons with 200 or more hits, which stands to this date, as a feat equaled by only Pete Rose." - CMG Worldwide (website)
