Elmer Rieger

Elmer Rieger was a professional baseball player born in 1889, whose career spanned a brief period from April 20, 1910, to July 20, 1910. Primarily known as a position player, Rieger's time in Major League Baseball was short-lived, as he participated in only 13 games. During this brief stint, he struggled to make an impact at the plate, finishing his career with a batting average of .0, having recorded no hits, home runs, RBIs, or stolen bases. Despite his limited on-field success, Rieger's presence in the early 20th-century baseball landscape reflects the challenges many players faced during that era. The 1910s were a transitional period in baseball, as the game was evolving with changes in player training and strategies, moving away from the deadball era toward a more offense-driven approach. While Elmer Rieger may not have left a significant mark statistically, his participation in Major League Baseball during this formative time in the sport remains a part of baseball history.
