Biography
Jack Little, born in 1891, was a professional baseball player who played as a position player in the early 20th century. His career was brief, spanning just two days from July 2 to July 3, 1912, during which he appeared in three games. Despite the limited opportunity to showcase his skills, Little made a notable impact on the field, finishing his short stint with a batting average of .25, accumulating three hits in twelve at-bats. His performance included two stolen bases, highlighting his speed and agility, which were key attributes for players of his era.
Little's time in Major League Baseball occurred during a transitional period in the game, as players began to adapt to evolving strategies and styles, moving away from the deadball era's emphasis on small ball tactics. While his career did not feature any home runs or runs batted in, Little's ability to steal bases indicated a focus on offensive aggressiveness that was becoming more prominent at the time. His legacy remains as a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history, even if their careers were fleeting.
