Biography
Pi Schwert, born in 1892, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during the early 20th century. His career spanned a brief period from 1914 until his final game on October 7, 1915. Schwert appeared in 12 games in Major League Baseball, where he recorded a total of 5 hits and 6 runs batted in, resulting in a batting average of .208.
