-While working in a typwriter factory in Woodstock, IL George played semi-pro ball. He had brief tryout with the Chicago Cubs in 1903 and 1904 playing only in 5 games with no at bats. In 1906 through 1908 he played for the New York Highlanders from there he signed with Detroit in 1909. George remained with Detroit through 1915.
-In 1916 he signed with the Chicago White Sox playing in only 7 games before being sent down the Memphis where he became a player manager.
-In 1917 he changed careers and became an American league umpire until 1940, except for two years as manager of the Detroit Tigers (1927-1928) finishing 4th and 6th respectively.
-In 1932 while officiating a game in Chicago he challenged the entire Chicago White Sox team, [[Milt Gaston]] stepped up and Moriarty flattened him breaking his own hand with the blow. Despite such experiences, a Sporting News poll among American League players in 1935 indicated they thought George was one of the best umpires in the League.
-After his umpiring career he did motion picture and public relations work for the American League. George also became a scout for the Detroit Tigers and was responible for signing [[Harvey Kuenn]], [[Billy Hoeft]], and [[Bill Tuttle]]. He retired from scouting in 1959.
