George Aiton

George Aiton, born in 1890, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during his brief career from 1912 to 1912. Aiton's major league tenure was notably short, spanning just 10 games, during which he recorded 4 hits, 1 RBI, and finished with a batting average of .235. He did not hit any home runs and did not steal any bases, reflecting both the challenges he faced in establishing a long-lasting career and the competitive landscape of early 20th-century baseball. Playing in an era that would soon transition into the more dynamic offensive styles of the 1920s, Aiton's time in the league coincided with the tail end of the deadball era, characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on pitching and defense. Although his major league experience was limited, Aiton's participation during this transitional phase of baseball history highlights the evolving nature of the game and the players who navigated its changes. His brief stint remains a part of the rich tapestry of baseball's past, showcasing the many individuals who contributed to the sport, even in limited capacities.
