Whitney made his debut on April 11, 1928, and played 151 games that year for the Phillies, leading the team with 103 runs batted in. Philadelphia would finish last, however, with 109 losses. In 1929, Whitney played in all 154 of his team's games, batting .327 and tallying a career-high 43 doubles and 295 total bases for the fifth-place Phillies. Whitney died in Center, Texas at the age of 82.
