Art Goodwin

Art Goodwin, born in 1876, was a professional baseball player who briefly played in Major League Baseball during the early 20th century. His career spanned a single day on October 7, 1905, when he took the field as a position player. While Goodwin's time in the majors was limited to just one game, he was part of a transformative era in baseball history, marked by the transition from the deadball era to the more offensive-minded play that would characterize the sport in the following decades. During his lone appearance, Goodwin did not record any hits, runs batted in, or stolen bases, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. Despite these modest statistics, his inclusion in the major leagues highlights the competitive nature of the sport and the opportunities afforded to players during that time. Goodwin's fleeting presence in the big leagues serves as a reminder of the many individuals who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history, even if their careers were short-lived.
