Roy Brashear

Roy Brashear was a professional baseball player born in 1874, who made his mark in the early 20th century as a position player. His career spanned from April 25, 1902, to May 23, 1903, during a time when baseball was evolving into a more organized and competitive sport. Over the course of 130 games, Brashear showcased his abilities at the plate, finishing his career with 124 hits, a batting average of .268, and 44 runs batted in. He also contributed to his team's success with 11 stolen bases, demonstrating his speed and agility on the bases. Brashear's lone home run in Major League Baseball marked him as a player with a respectable offensive presence during an era that was not overly dominated by power hitting. His contributions came during a transitional period in baseball, as the sport was moving beyond the deadball era, where small ball tactics and player speed were emphasized. Though his career was relatively short-lived, Brashear's performance reflected the competitive spirit of the time and the growing popularity of baseball as America's pastime.
