As a baseball player, Purdy was an outfielder who batted left-handed and threw right-handed.

He compiled a lifetime minor league batting average of .328 in 1,437 games.[1]
Purdy also saw 181 games of Major League service with the Chicago White Sox (1926) and Cincinnati Reds (1927–1929), batting .293 with two home runs and 59 runs batted in.[2]
