Jack Reis

Jack Reis, born in 1891, was a professional baseball player who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during the 1911 season. His career was short-lived, spanning just three games from September 9 to October 4, 1911. As a position player, Reis faced the challenges of competing in a rapidly evolving sport, yet he did not record a hit, home run, or run batted in during his time on the field. His batting average stood at an unremarkable 0.0, and he did not manage any stolen bases. The early 1910s were a pivotal time in baseball, as the sport was transitioning from the deadball era into a period that would soon embrace more offensive play. Although Reis's time in the majors was limited and he did not leave a statistical mark, he is part of the rich tapestry of baseball history, representing the many players who aspired to make their mark in the league, even if only for a fleeting moment. His story reflects the experiences of countless athletes who sought to achieve greatness in America’s pastime.
