Ken Berry Stats

Ken Berry was born on Saturday, May 10, 1941, in Kansas City, Missouri. Berry was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 9, 1962, with the Chicago White Sox. 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 Ken Berry baseball stats page.

"During that twenty game hitting streak, everything I hit fell in, didn't matter if it was a line drive or a blooper, they all fell in. That happens sometimes. I never really understood hitting until after I retired and started playing slo-pitch softball. In that sport you have to wait for the pitch, keep your weight back, things like that. When I played in the majors I had a lot of bad habits, I had bad balance, I dove into balls and had poor recognition on pitches. I used to be an aggressive hitter, I was uncomfortable having two strikes on me so often I'd swing early in the count, sometimes they weren't the best pitches.” - Ken Berry in the Ken Berry Interview (Mark Liptak, August 2005)
