Joe Houser

Joe Houser was a professional baseball player born in 1891, whose career in Major League Baseball spanned a brief period from April 24, 1914, to July 3, 1914. As a position player, Houser made a limited impact in the league, appearing in just 8 games during his time with the team. He recorded 1 hit, leading to a batting average of .143, along with 1 run batted in, and did not hit any home runs or steal any bases. Although his time in the major leagues was short-lived, Houser's contribution to the game during the early 20th century reflects the competitive spirit of the era. The 1910s were characterized by a transition in baseball, as teams began to move away from the deadball era's emphasis on low-scoring games and small ball tactics. While Houser's playing career may not have left a lasting statistical legacy, he remains a part of baseball history, representing the many players who aspired to make their mark in a rapidly evolving sport.
