George Earnshaw was born on Thursday, February 15, 1900, in New York, New York. Earnshaw was 28 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 3, 1928, 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 George Earnshaw baseball stats page.
"(George) Earnshaw is strictly a speed ball pitcher, and in his case speed is spelled with capital letters. There are no fancy frills, just a bullet-like delivery, with a perplexing change of pace. 'I have pitched more than one game,' says Earnshaw, 'in which I didn't use a single curve. All that I showed was my fast ball and a ball that wasn't so fast.'" - Columnist F.C. Lane in Baseball Magazine (November 1929)
