Whitey Witt was born on Saturday, September 28, 1895, in Orange, Massachusetts. Witt was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 12, 1916, 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 Whitey Witt baseball stats page.
"I'm conservative. My thirty-two bunt singles, placed end to end, would probably fall short of one of Babe Ruth's homers, but he got only four bases on that distance, while I got thirty-two. Yes, my lad, science pays." - Whitey Witt
