Harley Grossman, born in 1930, was a professional baseball player who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball on April 22, 1952. Playing as a position player, Grossman’s career was notably short, as he participated in only one game without recording any hits, runs, or RBIs, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. Despite this limited exposure to the sport, Grossman remains a part of baseball history as a figure who briefly stepped into the major leagues during a time when the game was beginning to see the influence of post-war changes and shifts in player demographics.
Grossman's singular game in the majors serves as a reminder of the many players who aspired to reach the highest level of competition but found their careers cut short or limited in scope. While he did not compile traditional statistics that would define a long and illustrious career, his participation in a major league game places him among the ranks of those who have donned a big league jersey, contributing to the rich tapestry of baseball history.
