A right-hand bat, Sheffield made 180 appearances, scoring 3,914 runs at an average of 16.51 including one century, and he took 196 catches and made 54 stumpings.
During the winter of 1932-33 he took an extended trip around South America. His plan was to avoid the usual tourist routes and do it all in a canoe. He wrote about this in a book Bolivian Spy? that was published in 1935.
