Tom Funk

Tom Funk, born in 1962, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player during his brief career in Major League Baseball. Funk's tenure in the league was notably short, spanning from July 24, 1986, to August 23, 1986. Over the course of 8 games, he faced significant challenges at the plate, finishing with a batting average of 0.0, without any hits, home runs, or RBIs to his credit. His struggles at the plate reflected the high level of competition during the mid-1980s, a period characterized by a shift towards more powerful hitting and the emergence of a new generation of players. Despite the lack of traditional statistical accomplishments, Funk's journey to the major leagues is a testament to the dedication and resilience required to reach that level of play.
