Bill Bolden

Bill Bolden was a professional baseball player born in 1893, who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during a short stint in 1919. Playing as a position player, Bolden's career was limited to just three games, which he played from June 27 to July 7 of that year. Despite the brevity of his career, he managed to leave an imprint with a batting average of .333, recording one hit in his limited opportunities at the plate. Bolden's time in the league occurred during a transitional period in baseball, as the game was slowly moving away from the deadball era towards a more offensive style that would later dominate the 1920s. Although he did not hit any home runs or drive in any runs, his performance in those few games showcased the potential of players who sought to make an impact during a time of evolving strategies in baseball. While his major league career was short-lived, Bill Bolden remains a part of the rich tapestry of baseball history.
