Ed Forsyth

Ed Forsyth was a professional baseball player born in 1887, whose career spanned a brief moment in the sport's history. He played only one game in the Major Leagues on October 2, 1915, during a time when baseball was evolving and gaining popularity in America. Despite the limited opportunity he had at the highest level, Forsyth's participation in the game places him among the ranks of those who contributed to the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball. In his sole appearance, Forsyth did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. While his statistical contributions to the game were minimal, the era in which he played was significant, as it marked the transition from the deadball era to a time when power hitting began to reshape the game. Forsyth's brief foray into Major League Baseball serves as a reminder of the many players who sought to make their mark in a sport that was rapidly evolving during the early 1900s.
