[edit] Biographical Information

Irv Waldron played only one year in the majors, but it was a momentous one. Not only did he play in the inaugural season of the American League, but he led the league in games played with 141, and in at-bats with 598. He was fourth in the league in hits and 7th in the league in total bases.

His total of 141 American League games that year was particularly unusual, since no AL team played more than 137 games.

In 1904, he led the San Francisco Seals in games and at-bats as well.
