Tony York

Tony Batton York (November 27, 1912 - April 18, 1970) was a Major League Baseball shortstop/third baseman who played for the Chicago Cubs in 1944. A native of Irene, Texas, the 31-year-old rookie stood 5'10" and weighed 165 lbs.

York is one of many ballplayers who only appeared in the major leagues during World War II. He made his major league debut on April 18, 1944 (Opening Day) in a road game against the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field.

His season and career totals for 28 games include a .235 batting average (20-for-85) with 7 runs batted in and 4 runs scored. He was a good fielder for his era, handling 120 out of 125 total chances successfully for a fielding percentage of .960.
