Dan McGarvey

Dan McGarvey was a professional baseball player born in 1887, who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball on May 18, 1912. His career was notably short, as he played only one game, representing the rare instances of players who had fleeting moments in the big leagues. During this singular game, McGarvey did not record any hits, home runs, or RBIs, finishing with a batting average of 0.0 and no stolen bases. McGarvey's time in the major leagues coincided with a transitional period in baseball, where the sport was evolving from the deadball era into a more dynamic offensive game.
