The Lew Burdette World Series stats seen below include his World Series year-by-year hitting stats, World Series fielding stats, and World Series pitching stats (where applicable).
"I make my living off the hungriness of the hitters," Lew Burdette used to say. That was when he was beating the Yankees for the Milwaukee Braves in Games 2, 5 and 7 of the 1957 World Series. By "hungriness" he meant eagerness to kill pitches chosen to be not killable." - Sportswriter Leonard Koppett in the Seattle Post Intelligencer (11/08/2001, 'The Thinking Fan: Playoff pitching proves point', Source)
