Ed Stevens Stats

Ed Stevens was born on Monday, January 12, 1925, in Galveston, Texas. Stevens was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 9, 1945, with the Brooklyn Dodgers. 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 Ed Stevens baseball stats page.
"Ed Stevens and I played together in Puerto Rico during winter ball many years ago. He was a good teammate and an even better friend. He was a good player who could hit for power, but more importantly, he was the type of player that conducted himself with the highest degree of class at all times throughout his long major league career. This book will be very interesting. Ed found himself in a position because he was a first baseman, and of course, Jackie Robinson's first position was first base. I think you will enjoy reading Ed's account of what happened, and how he was involved in this historic transformation of baseball." - Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda in The Other Side of the Jackie Robinson Story (Ed Stevens, Tate Publishing, 01/12/2010, Page 11)
