Frank Butler

Frank Butler, born in 1861, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief period from 1884 to 1884. Primarily a position player, Butler made his mark in a time when baseball was still solidifying its place in American culture, just a few years after the formation of the National League in 1876. His career was characterized by a modest number of games, appearing in 71 contests during his time in the league. Over the course of his career, Butler recorded 43 hits, finishing with a batting average of 0.169. He did not hit any home runs or drive in runs, as he concluded his playing days without any RBIs. Additionally, he did not attempt any stolen bases, which reflects the playing style of the era that often emphasized contact and strategy over power. While Butler may not have left an indelible mark on the statistical record books, his participation in the early years of professional baseball contributes to the rich tapestry of the game's history.
