Pete Galligan

Pete Galligan was a professional baseball player born in 1860, who played a single game in the Major Leagues on September 4, 1886. His brief career occurred during a time when baseball was evolving rapidly, transitioning from the rough-and-tumble days of the deadball era into a more structured sport. Galligan's role was that of a position player, and while his career statistics reflect limited participation, they are indicative of the challenges faced by players in that era. In his lone Major League appearance, Galligan recorded 1 hit in 5 at-bats, culminating in a batting average of 0.2. Despite not hitting any home runs or driving in runs, his inclusion in the game at that time placed him among the ranks of early baseball athletes striving to leave their mark on the sport. While his career was fleeting, Galligan's brief stint in Major League Baseball serves as a reminder of the many players who contributed to the rich history of the game, even if their time in the spotlight was short-lived.
