Baseball Historian Biography

As an infielder Woody English has played consistently good ball for the Chicago Cubs since they bought him from Toledo in 1926 for the reported price of $50,000 and in 1933 he rated as the best fielding third baseman in the National League with an average of .973. While not a heavy hitter, he is a dependable hitter and stays right around that .300 mark, his average for his seven years of major league ball being .296. 'He was born in Grandville, Ohio, March 2, 1907 and started professional baseball with the Toledo club when he was 18. He stands 5 feet, 10 inches high and weighs 155 pounds. He bats right-handed and throws right-handed'... baseballhistorian.com Archives Elwood English
