Les Mueller Stats

Les Mueller was born on Tuesday, March 4, 1919, in Belleville, Illinois. Mueller was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 15, 1941, with the Detroit Tigers. 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 Les Mueller baseball stats page.
"After the 1945 season, I thought I had pitched quite well and contributed quite a bit to the ball club. I had won six games, and they were all good ball games. In another ball game [on June 9, against Chicago], I hit a home run, and Detroit won, 7-6. I didn't get the win, but I got a home run with a man on, which helped win a ball game. It just about broke my heart when Detroit didn't keep me in 1946. I really felt like I would be with them in 1946, because I had missed three summers of baseball in the service, and I had been away three years. I figured I came back in 1945 and pitched pretty good with a 6-8 record. The only thing was my walks were high, but my hits were low, and my earned run average was respectable." - Les Mueller (Jim Sargent, SABR Baseball Biography Project, 'Les Mueller', Source)
