Frank Quinlan

Frank Quinlan was a professional baseball player born in 1869, whose career in Major League Baseball was brief yet notable for its historical context. Quinlan played during the early years of the league, a time when baseball was rapidly evolving and establishing itself in American culture. His major league career spanned a single day on October 5, 1891, during which he appeared in two games but unfortunately did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, finishing his brief stint with a batting average of .0. Although Quinlan's on-field contributions were limited, he represents the many players of the era who fought for their place in a burgeoning sport.
