Ed Chandler

Ed Chandler, born in 1917, was a professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues for a brief period in 1947. His career, although short-lived, took place during a transformative era in baseball, marked by the integration of African American players into the league and the tail end of the wartime player shortages. Chandler played as a position player, participating in a total of 15 games during his time in the big leagues. Despite the limited opportunities on the field, Chandler's presence in the Major League Baseball (MLB) served as a testament to the depth of talent and the diverse backgrounds that characterized the sport in the post-war years. His official statistics reflect the challenges he faced at the highest level of competition; he recorded 0 hits, 0 home runs, and a batting average of .0, yet he notched 1 RBI during his appearance. Though his time in the MLB was short, Ed Chandler remains a part of the rich tapestry of baseball history.
