Burt Shotton played for the St. Louis Browns, the Washington Senators and then back to St. Louis for the Cardinals.
Then he managed in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and then Brooklyn.
His first name can be found spelled as Burt or Bert and his last name can be found spelled as Shotton or Shotten.
Player Record
Managerial Record
His professional relationship with baseball spanned 6 decades (1909-1950).
I thought that may have been Burt Shotton.
I love the Cracker Jack rundown.
these are sweet - thanks for letting me see the Piazza card!
The more I see of these, the more I like 'em!
Mark,
Thanks for the tip on Shotten (Shotton). I hadn't thought to try an alternate spelling on baseball-reference.com. He had a pretty long career. Started playing in 1908 and his last managerial year was 1950, although he had a long gap in his managerial career. 1 game with the Reds in 1934 and then picked up again with the Dodgers from 1947-1950.
