Floyd Newkirk

Floyd Newkirk was a professional baseball player born in 1908, who briefly appeared in Major League Baseball during the early 20th century. He played as a position player, making a singular appearance on August 21, 1934. Newkirk's time in the majors was notably brief, as he concluded his career with 1 game played, during which he did not record any hits, home runs, runs batted in, or stolen bases, resulting in a career batting average of 0.0.
