{{person-narrative-stub}} Burgess was a 160 pound utility infielder for the St.Louis Cardinals who was often in poor health. The Giants [[Bill Terry]] was criticized when he traded [[Roy Parmelee]],[[Allyn Stout]],[[Al Cuccinello]] and [[Phil Weintraub]] for Burgess. Whitehead proved to be a brilliant,acrobatic second baseman whose presence was indispensable to the Giants pennant in 1936 and 1937. He led the NL second baseman in total changes per game in 1936, and in putouts,double plays and fielding percentage in 1937. He missed the 1938 season due to illness and later spent three years in the Navy during WWII. == Profile == === Personal === * Brother of [[Lewis Whitehead]]{{footnote-newspaper | title=Three I Lg.| newspaper= The Sporting News| year= 1935| month=08| day=01| pages=9 | last= | first= }} == Sources == *{{cite-book | title=The Ballplayers | last=| first=| publisher=Arbor House-Bill Morrow | city=New York | year=1990 }} *{{cite-book | title=Giants Diary | last=| first=| publisher=North Atlantic Books | city=Berkeley,California | year=1987 }}
