Alex Grammas Memorabilia & Collectibles

Although he was born in Birmingham, Alabama, the former professional baseball Alex Grammas is of Greek descent. He was originally signed by the Chicago White Sox as an amateur free agent before the start of the 1949 season but was sent to the Cincinnati Reds and then traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Before his debut MLB appearance in 1954 with the Cardinals, Grammas played in the minors Muskegon Clippers in the Central League, Memphis Chickasaws of the Southern Association, the Tulsa Oilers of the Texas League and the Kansas City Blues of the American Association.  

During his first season in the MLB, Grammas was able to come up with a .264 batting average and a .342 slugging percentage. He had a .966 fielding percentage and was second in the league for that season. In the next season, he posted a .968 fielding percentage but only ranked fourth. 

In 1956, Grammas was traded to the Cincinnati Redlegs along with Joe Frazier in exchange for Chuck Harmon.  In his first season with Cincinnati, Grammas was able to come up with a .303 batting average but his stats plummeted during the 1958 season. Before retiring, Grammas also played for the Chicago Cubs.
