Harvey Cushman

Harvey Cushman was a professional baseball player born in 1877, whose brief career spanned from 1902 to 1908. He played primarily as a position player, participating in a total of four games in Major League Baseball. During this short stint, Cushman recorded two hits and one run batted in, concluding his career with a batting average of 0.2. While he did not hit any home runs or record any stolen bases, his presence on the field during the early 20th century contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball’s formative years. Operating in an era that was characterized by a focus on pitching and defense, Cushman’s limited playing time did not afford him the opportunity to leave a lasting statistical legacy. However, his involvement in the game during its transition from the deadball era to the more offensive-minded styles that would follow is significant in understanding the evolution of player roles and strategies in baseball. Despite the brevity of his career, Harvey Cushman remains a part of the historical narrative of America's pastime.
