Biography

Joe Berry was a professional baseball player born in 1894, who played as a position player during the early 1920s. His career spanned from July 18, 1921, to May 16, 1922, during a transitional period in Major League Baseball that followed the end of the deadball era. Although Berry's major league career was brief, he made his mark by demonstrating a solid batting average of .333 over the course of 15 games. Throughout his time in the league, Berry amassed 2 hits and recorded 2 RBIs, showcasing his ability to contribute offensively despite limited playing time. His lack of home runs and stolen bases suggests that he focused on getting on base and driving in runs rather than power hitting or speed on the basepaths. While his career numbers may not reflect the prolific achievements of many of his contemporaries, Berry remains a part of baseball history, representing the many players who passed through the majors during the game's evolving landscape.
