Danning played for the New York Giants from 1933 through 1942, serving as a backup receiver to Gus Mancuso until 1937 when he became the club's regular catcher. He caught 801 games, was behind the plate for the Giants in five games in the 1936 and 1937 World Series, and was a member of the National League All-Star teams from 1938 through 1941. One of his special accomplishments was hitting for the cycle in a game on June 15, 1940.

Three times he hit .300 or better and finished his career with a .285 BA. He served in the military from 1943 through 1945, but after his discharge, he was unable to resume his baseball career because of arthritic knees. He is current living in Valparaiso, Indiana.
