Bob Gandy

Bob Gandy was a professional baseball player born in 1893, who had a brief appearance in Major League Baseball on October 5, 1916. As a position player, Gandy’s career in the major leagues was notably short, consisting of just one game. During that solitary contest, he did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, resulting in a batting average of 0.0. His tenure in the league coincided with a period of significant transformation in baseball, as the sport was beginning to see shifts in playing styles and the emergence of new talent. Despite his limited statistics, Gandy's participation in the game places him among the ranks of players who contributed to the early 20th-century baseball landscape. The era was characterized by the decline of the deadball era and the beginnings of the lively ball era, which would soon redefine the offensive capabilities of players. While Gandy's time in the spotlight was fleeting, his legacy as part of the fabric of baseball history remains notable for those who study the sport's evolution.
