Jeremiah Reardon

Jeremiah Reardon, born in 1868, was a professional baseball player who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during the late 19th century. He played as a position player for a short stint from July 17, 1886, to August 31, 1886. Over the course of his career, Reardon participated in just 2 games, where he recorded 1 hit and finished with a batting average of 0.143. His contributions to the game, while limited in scope, took place during a transformative period in baseball history, as the sport was evolving from its early, more primitive format into a more structured professional league. Despite his limited playing time, Reardon's participation in the league reflects the nature of the era, characterized by a high turnover of players and frequent roster changes. The late 1880s were marked by the establishment of the National League and the continued development of baseball as America's pastime. While his career statistics may not place him among the game's most notable figures, Reardon's presence in the sport during this formative time captures the essence of the early days of professional baseball.
