Biography
Red Adams was a professional baseball player born in 1921, who had a brief career in Major League Baseball. He played from May 5, 1946, to July 2, 1946, during a time when the sport was recovering from the challenges of World War II and integrating new talent into the league. Adams took the field as a position player, appearing in a total of 8 games.
Despite his limited playing time, Adams's career is notable for its historical context. His tenure coincided with the early post-war period, a time when many veterans returned to the game and the integration of African American players began to reshape the league. Though he finished his career without recording any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, Adams's presence in the major leagues reflects the competitive spirit and opportunities that characterized baseball in the mid-20th century.
