Frank Monroe

Frank Monroe was a professional baseball player born in 1855, who played a brief career in the late 19th century. His time in Major League Baseball was notably short, spanning only two games from July 18 to July 20, 1884. Despite the limited opportunities, Monroe's appearance in the majors came during an era when baseball was transitioning from its early beginnings into a more organized and commercially viable sport, commonly referred to as the "deadball era." Monroe's career statistics reflect his minimal impact on the field, as he finished his time in the major leagues with 0 hits, 0 home runs, and a batting average of 0.0. With no runs batted in and no stolen bases to his name, he remains a footnote in the annals of baseball history. While his playing time was brief and unremarkable, Monroe's presence in the game during a pivotal time in baseball's evolution highlights the diverse tapestry of players who contributed to the sport's development, even if only for a fleeting moment.
