Biography
Roland Howell was a professional baseball player born in 1892, who had a brief career in Major League Baseball from June 14 to June 25, 1912. His time in the big leagues was marked by participation in just three games, during which he faced the challenges of competing in a rapidly evolving sport. Despite his limited opportunities, Howell's entry into the league coincided with an era that was still defining itself in terms of player roles and the overall structure of the game.
As a position player, Howell struggled to make an impact statistically, finishing his career with zero hits, home runs, or runs batted in, and a batting average of 0.0. His experience reflects the difficulties many players faced during the early 20th century, a time when the competition was fierce and opportunities were limited. Although Howell's major league tenure was short-lived, he remains a part of baseball history, representing the countless players who aspired to make their mark in America's pastime, even if only for a fleeting moment.
