He is widely acknowledged to have been the best third baseman in the history of the Negro American League.

1933 began a stretch of seven straight years where he made at least one selection in the Negro leagues east–west game.

He participated in the first East-West All-Star Game on September 10 of that year, which was held in Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois.

In the 1937 Championship Series for the Negro American pennant against the Kansas City Monarchs, he batted .353 in four games with two RBI but the Giants lost.

He barnstormed for the Palmer House All Stars in 1940 before returning to the Negro leagues for two games in 1941.

He worked as a bouncer at his brother's bar in Chicago, Illinois until his death.
