Seay was a 5'8" 150-lb hustling infielder who performed for more than 20 years in
the Negro Leagues. He was a light hitter but a good bunter and hit-and-run man. His
splendid throwing arm and sparkling defense gained him recognition as one of black
baseball's premier fielders. Besides league play, he performed in Puerto Rico and
toured in 1927-28 with
Chappie Johnson's Stars, a black barnstorming team operating
out of Montreal. He was the second baseman for the 1934 Negro
National Association
champion Philadelphia Stars, and for three East all-star squads. While available
data indicates his lifetime batting average was in the low .200 range, he hit .340
in 15
exhibitions against white major leaguers.
