George Sisler Stats

George Sisler was born on Friday, March 24, 1893, in Manchester, Ohio. Sisler was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 28, 1915, with the St. Louis Browns. 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 Sisler baseball stats page.

"He (George Sisler) is probably the only player other than (Lou) Gehrig who can reasonably be considered the greatest first baseman ever in terms of peak value. The reason I say that is that the other top contenders, most notably (Jimmie) Foxx and (Willie) McCovey, were the same type of players that Gehrig was, and thus they can be directly compared to him, a comparison that they clearly lose. But the man I’m referring to was a different type of player, he didn’t have the home run pop, but he hit for a higher average, was faster and a better defensive player than Gehrig, and the comparison between the two is not easy." - Author Bill James in The Historical Baseball Abstract (1988)
