Harry Hanson

Harry Hanson, born in 1896, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief moment in the early 20th century. He played as a position player, making a singular appearance in Major League Baseball on July 14, 1913. Despite the short duration of his career, Hanson was a part of the game's history during an era characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-centric style of play. In his sole game, Hanson did not record any hits, home runs, RBIs, or stolen bases, concluding his career with a batting average of 0.0. While his statistical contributions were limited, Hanson's entry into the league highlights the challenges faced by many players of his time, where competition was fierce and opportunities were scarce. His brief stint in the majors serves as a reminder of the countless athletes who aspired to make their mark in baseball, even if only for a fleeting moment.
