Biography

George Cox was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the Major Leagues during the late 1920s. Born in 1904, Cox made his debut on April 12, 1928, and his career spanned until September 29 of the same year. Throughout his short stint in the league, he compiled a record of 1-2 with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.26. Over the course of his career, he recorded 22 strikeouts, showcasing his ability to miss bats, although he did not register any saves. Cox's time in the majors came during a transitional period in baseball, as the sport was navigating the post-deadball era and evolving into a time of greater offensive output. Despite a brief career, his contributions on the mound reflected the challenges faced by pitchers of his time, who often had to adapt to the increasing power of hitters. While he may not have achieved lasting fame in the annals of baseball history, George Cox remains a part of the rich tapestry of the game during a significant era.
