Biography
Bill Duzen was an American professional baseball player born in 1870, who played during the early days of Major League Baseball. His career, although brief, spanned from September 21, 1890, to September 27, 1890, a time when the game was still evolving and the foundations of modern baseball were being laid. Duzen primarily served as a position player, participating in only two games at the major league level.
In his short stint, Duzen recorded one hit in four at-bats, resulting in a batting average of .25. He also contributed one run batted in (RBI) to his team's efforts during that short period. Despite not hitting any home runs or stealing bases, Duzen's presence in the early days of professional baseball reflects the era's transition from amateur play to organized leagues, where many players sought to make their mark in a rapidly growing sport. His legacy, albeit modest, is a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history.
