Ray Fitzgerald

Ray Fitzgerald was a professional baseball player born in 1904, who had a brief career in Major League Baseball. He played as a position player, making his debut on April 18, 1931. Fitzgerald's time in the major leagues was notably short, as he participated in only one game, during which he did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. His career in the majors was limited to this solitary appearance, and he did not manage to steal any bases. Fitzgerald's entry into baseball coincided with an era marked by significant changes in the sport, including the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-minded approach in the following years. His inclusion in the major leagues, albeit brief, reflects the competitive nature of baseball during the early 20th century when many players vied for limited roster spots in an evolving game. Despite the challenges of establishing a lasting legacy, Fitzgerald remains a part of baseball history as a player who reached the pinnacle of the sport, even if for just a fleeting moment.
