[edit] Biography

Wally Shaner (Walter Dedaker Shaner) was born on May 24, 1900 in Lynchburg, Virginia. He made his Major League debut on May 4, 1923 for the Cleveland Indians. In 1926, his rookie year, he hit .283 with 0 home runs and 21 RBI. Shaner played for the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds over the course of his 4 year career.
