Vivian Potts

Vivian Potts was a professional baseball player born in 1869, who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during the 1892 season. He played as a position player for a single game on October 3, 1892, which was a notable period in baseball history as the sport was beginning to transition from the earlier, more rudimentary styles of play into a more organized and popular competitive format. During his lone game, Potts recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats, finishing his brief career with a batting average of .25. Despite not hitting any home runs or driving in runs, his presence on the field during this formative era of baseball contributes to the rich tapestry of the sport's history. With only one game to his name, Potts remains a footnote in the annals of baseball, yet he represents the many players of the 19th century who contributed to the establishment of baseball as America's pastime.
