Career

His career was unusual in that he went almost seven years between major league appearances. White made his first two major league appearances (September, 1940) as a pinch-hitter, going 0-for-2. Six years later, on November 1, 1946 he was drafted by the New York Giants from the Browns in the 1946 rule V draft.

Then, next season, at the age of 31, he played in seven games for the Giants.

At the plate he went 3-for-13 with three runs scored, and on defense recorded 11 putouts with no errors. White died in his hometown of Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 86.
