Biography
Charlie Dorman, born in 1898, was a professional baseball player whose brief career spanned a single day on May 14, 1923. As a position player, Dorman made a unique mark in baseball history by participating in one game during the early 1920s, a time when the sport was experiencing significant changes in playing styles and fan engagement post-Deadball Era. Despite the brevity of his career, he recorded 1 hit in 2 at-bats, leading to a batting average of 0.5.
Dorman's lone appearance in Major League Baseball is a reminder of the countless players who toiled in the shadows of the game, often receiving little recognition despite their dedication and skill. He did not hit any home runs or drive in any runs during his short time on the field, nor did he steal any bases. His career may have been fleeting, but it encapsulated the spirit of many players from that era, each contributing to the rich tapestry of baseball history, even if just for a moment.
