Biography
Cotton Minahan, born in 1882, was a professional baseball player who had a brief career in the early 20th century. He played during a time when Major League Baseball was still in its infancy, having been established just a few decades earlier. Minahan's career spanned from April 21, 1907, to May 15, 1907, during which he appeared in only two games as a position player. Unfortunately, his time on the field did not yield any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, as he finished his short-lived career with a batting average of 0.0 and no stolen bases.
Despite his lack of statistical achievements, Minahan's journey through the major leagues reflects the challenges and competitiveness of the era, when many players fought for limited opportunities to showcase their talents. His brief appearance in the sport serves as a reminder of the numerous players who passed through the big leagues, each contributing to the rich tapestry of baseball history, regardless of their individual successes or failures on the field.
