Tony York

Tony York was an American professional baseball infielder who played part of one season in Major League Baseball, for the Chicago Cubs in 1944. He appeared as a shortstop and third baseman, making his major league debut on April 18 at age 31. In 28 games he batted .235 before being optioned in July to Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League. The Boston Braves claimed him on waivers from the Cubs on September 23, 1944, but he entered military service that December, near the end of World War II, and did not return to the major leagues. His brief big league appearance fell within the wartime period when rosters were depleted by military service.
