Ed Carfrey

Ed Carfrey was a professional baseball player born in 1863, whose career was notably brief, lasting only a single day on April 19, 1890. Playing during the early years of organized baseball, Carfrey participated in just one game as a position player for a team in the burgeoning National League. In that game, he achieved one hit in four at-bats, resulting in a batting average of 0.25. Although he did not record any home runs or runs batted in, his participation in the game represents a snapshot of a formative era in baseball history, when the sport was still developing its identity and structure. Carfrey's career, albeit short-lived, reflects the challenges faced by many players in the late 19th century, a time when the game was evolving rapidly and competition for roster spots was fierce. With only one game to his name, Carfrey's legacy is modest, but it serves as a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the early fabric of Major League Baseball, paving the way for future generations.
