Frank Pears

Frank Pears was a professional baseball player born in 1866, who played during the late 19th century, a time characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more modern style of play. Pears had a brief Major League career spanning from 1889 to 1893, during which he participated in only four games. His role as a position player saw him accumulate a total of one hit, resulting in a batting average of .077. He also recorded one run batted in (RBI) but did not hit any home runs or steal any bases. Despite his limited playing time and modest statistics, Pears’ involvement in the game during this formative period contributes to the rich tapestry of baseball history. His career unfolded during an era that laid the groundwork for the future of the sport, as the game was evolving in terms of strategy, fan engagement, and the establishment of the professional leagues. Pears remains a part of the narrative of baseball's early days, representing the many players whose contributions, though perhaps not statistically significant, were part of the broader story of America's pastime.
