His professional baseball career spanned 1937 through 1947, with four seasons (1942–1945) missed during United States Army service in World War II.[1]
With the 1946 Cardinals, Endicott posted a .200 batting average (4-for-20) with two runs and three RBI in 20 major league games; his four hits included three doubles, and a .333 on-base percentage without home runs.
