Born in Wytheville, Virginia, he threw and batted right-handed, and was listed as 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 175 pounds (79 kg).

Creger had only 18 plate appearances for the 1947 Cardinals; he collected three hits—one of them a double—and one base on balls.

In the field, he played 49 innings during the year and started three late season games at shortstop.
