Andy Harrington

Andy Harrington was a professional baseball player born in 1888, whose brief career in Major League Baseball spanned a single day on September 8, 1913. As a position player, Harrington made his mark in the game by participating in just one game, but he left an imprint with his performance during that outing. He recorded 1 hit in 2 at-bats, finishing his short career with a batting average of 0.5, a unique statistic that highlights the rarity of his Major League experience. Harrington's career unfolded during an era when baseball was evolving, transitioning from the deadball era into a time that would soon see the emergence of more dynamic offensive play. Despite his limited time on the field, Harrington’s single game in the majors exemplified the opportunities and challenges faced by players in that period. He finished his playing days without any home runs or RBIs, and he did not record any stolen bases, but his brief appearance remains a testament to the fleeting nature of many players' careers in the early 20th century.
