Jim Prendergast

Jim Prendergast was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the Major Leagues for a brief period in 1948. Born in 1917, Prendergast's career spanned from April 25 to June 29 of that year. He made his mark during a transitional time in baseball, as the sport was evolving with the integration of players and shifting playing styles post-World War II. Throughout his short stint in the majors, Prendergast recorded a win-loss record of 1-1 and finished with an earned run average (ERA) of 10.26. He struck out three batters and notched one save during his time on the mound. While his statistics may not capture the heights of a long and storied career, Prendergast's contributions reflect the competitive spirit of the era and the challenges faced by many players trying to make their mark in a rapidly changing game. His legacy, like that of many players from the late 1940s, is a testament to the perseverance of those who pursued their dreams in the world of professional baseball.
