Today's Baseball Birthday...Pete Gray

Today's we celebrate the Happy Baseball Birthday! of former St. Louis Browns outfielder Pete Gray.






Pete was born on March 6th, 1915, in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. 

Despite having lost his right arm at age 6, Pete made it to the big leagues, for one season, 1945, playing in 77 games for the Browns.



In 253 plate appearances for the Browns, Pete batted .218, collected 51 hits, drove in 13 runs, and stole 5 bases.







Today we say Happy Baseball Birthday! to Pete Gray, who became a big league ball player despite great odds.
