George Kell Stats

George Kell was born on Wednesday, August 23, 1922, in Swifton, Arkansas. Kell was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 28, 1943, with the Philadelphia Athletics. 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 George Kell baseball stats page.
"Third base remains baseball's enigmatic position, the only one in which fielding prowess stands on equal ground with hitting skill. It is the rarest of combinations and one that has sent just 11 former Major Leaguers to the Baseball Hall of Fame -- the fewest of any position. George Kell, one of those 11, died Tuesday at the age of 86. During his playing days, his skills with the lumber and the leather produced one of baseball's most consistent players of the mid-20th century." - Researcher Craig Muder (National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, 03/24/09)
