Ned Porter

Ned Porter was a professional baseball player born in 1905, who played as a position player during a brief career in the late 1920s. He made his Major League debut on August 7, 1926, and concluded his time in the big leagues on May 2, 1927. Porter's career was notably short, as he appeared in only three games at the highest level of the sport. Throughout those appearances, he did not record any hits, home runs, or RBIs, finishing with a batting average of 0.0 and no stolen bases to his name. Porter's tenure in Major League Baseball occurred during a period marked by the transition from the deadball era to the lively ball era, a time when offensive statistics began to rise dramatically. Despite his limited impact on the field, his presence in the game during this era reflects the intense competition and the challenges faced by players seeking to establish themselves. His career serves as a reminder of the many athletes who aspired to greatness in an era that was rapidly evolving, where only a select few would leave a lasting legacy in the sport.
