"This is Wally's 17th season in the major leagues. He came into the big time with the A's in 1935 after four years in the minors. He remained with Philadelphia through the 1941 campaign.
With the White Sox from 1942 to July 1946, it was in 1943 that Wally led the American League in stolen bases with 56. He went to the Red Sox in 1946. Back to the A's in 1949, Wally hit .264 in 88 games in 1950."

"Wally ended a long playing career in 1951 with the Athletics, then spent the 1952 season as a coach for them. His career began in 1931.
It was 1935 when he first hit the major leagues with the Athletics and he remained with them through the 1941 season before being traded to the Chicago White Sox. The Chisox sold him to the Boston Red Sox in 1946 and Wally later signed with the A's.
He batted over .300 for his first seven major league seasons."

"Wally has had a long and distinguished career in baseball. He was one of the best fielding outfielders around, and his lifetime major league batting average was .291.
He began in 1931 and first came to the majors in 1935 with the Philadelphia A's. He hit .325 that year and hit .300 or better every year until 1942- he was with the White Sox that year. Then he played with the Red Sox, then was back with the A's from 1949 to 1951."

"One of baseball's great players was Wally Moses. Playing the outfield for the Athletics from 1935 through 1941, he hit over .300 each season. He was with the White Sox from 1942 until 1946 and led the American League in triples in 1943 and doubles in 1945. With the Red Sox in 1946, Wally hit a resounding .417 in the World Series. He finished his 17-year major league career with the A's with a fine .291 career batting mark."
