Jim Begley

Jim Begley, born in 1902, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief but notable period in Major League Baseball. He played during the early 20th century, a time characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-minded game.

Throughout his short career, Begley recorded one hit in two games, resulting in a batting average of 0.2. While he did not achieve the power numbers typically associated with the era, as evidenced by his lack of home runs and RBIs, his presence on a major league roster is a testament to his talent and the competitive nature of baseball at the time.
