Born in South Bend, Indiana, Bejma quit school at 16 and eventually wound up working for Studebaker and playing for five years on the company's baseball team. He made his pro baseball debut in 1929 with the Indianapolis Indians of the American Association, just one step below the majors; the 21-year-old batted .287 as a back-up outfielder. He spent most of 1930 with the Class B Quincy Indians (despite the names, neither club was affiliated with the MLB Cleveland Indians) where he hit .344 and switched to second base. After another year in Quincy and two more in the Texas League, Bejma made his major league debut on April 24, 1934 for the Browns in a 15-2 loss to Cleveland. Used as a utility infielder for the remainder of the season, Bejma hit .271 in 95 games (both career highs) and played four positions (shortstop, second base, third base, and outfield).
Bejma (nicknamed "The Polish Falcon") spent the next two seasons with the Browns in a somewhat less frequent reserve role, filling in at every infield position but first base. Bejma made no major league appearances in the 1937 or 1938 seasons, spending the latter in the minor league system of the Chicago White Sox, who had purchased him from the Browns in March 1938. He made his White Sox debut with in 1939 and had 307 at-bats, the most he had in any MLB season. He also surprisingly tallied eight home runs, despite having hit only six in 599 previous major league at-bats; this contributed to his MLB career best of 44 runs batted in.
