Chip Marshall

Chip Marshall, born in 1919, was a professional baseball player who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball on June 14, 1941. His career, while notably short, is marked by the unique distinction of participating in a single game as a position player. During this game, Marshall did not achieve any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, culminating in a batting average of 0.0. He did not record any stolen bases, further emphasizing the fleeting nature of his time in the major leagues. Marshall's brief stint in the MLB came during a period of significant change in professional baseball, as the game was on the cusp of World War II, which would soon affect player rosters and team compositions. While his career statistics may not reflect traditional measures of success in the sport, Chip Marshall's participation in the major leagues serves as a reminder of the many players who aspired to reach the pinnacle of professional baseball, even if only for a moment. His legacy, though limited, contributes to the rich tapestry of baseball history.
