Radcliff entered baseball in 1928 and joined the White Sox in September 1934 after seven prolific seasons in the minor leagues. He was known for his ability to make contact, striking out only once every 29 at bats.^[1] He batted .300 five times in his career and was a member of the American League squad for the 1936 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. On July 18, 1936, Radcliff went 6–for–7 with 4 runs and 4 RBI in a 21–14 win against the Philadelphia Athletics.^[2] He had 200+ hit seasons in 1936 and 1940. His best season came in 1942 when he hit .342 and finished ninth in American League MVP voting.

During his ten-year career, Radcliff compiled a .311 batting average (1,267–4,074) with 42 home runs and 533 RBI. His career numbers include 598 runs scored, 205 doubles, 50 triples, 40 stolen bases, and 310 walks for a .362 on-base percentage and .417 slugging percentage. Defensively, he recorded a .971 fielding percentage playing at left and right field and first base.^[3]

After retiring from baseball, Radcliff was employed by a road machinery company, and died of a suspected heart attack at his Enid home in 1962.^[4]
