George Detore

George Detore was a professional baseball player born in 1906, who played in the Major Leagues during the early 1930s. His career spanned from 1930 to 1931, a period marked by the transition from the deadball era to a game increasingly defined by power hitting. Detore primarily played as a position player, contributing to his teams with a solid, if unspectacular, performance over the course of 33 games. In his brief career, Detore compiled a batting average of .25, with 17 hits and 9 runs batted in, but he did not record any home runs. Despite his limited opportunities, he showcased his skills as a reliable hitter during a time when the league was beginning to see a shift towards more offensive play. Detore's role in the early 1930s reflects the dynamics of a league in transition, as players began to adapt to new styles of play that would soon dominate the game in the years to come.
