Les Cox

Les Cox was a professional baseball player born in 1904, who played in the Major Leagues for a brief period in 1926. His career spanned a mere two games, from September 11 to September 21, 1926, during which he played as a position player. Despite the limited opportunity, Cox made an impact in the box score by recording one hit, resulting in a batting average of 0.5. Although he did not hit any home runs or drive in runs, his presence on a big league roster during the early years of the 20th century speaks to the competitive nature of the sport during that era. Cox's brief stint in Major League Baseball coincided with a time when the game was still experiencing the effects of the deadball era, characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on pitching and defense. While his career statistics may not reflect significant achievements, his participation in the major leagues places him among the ranks of those who aspired to play at the highest level of baseball during a transformative period in the sport's history.
