Paul Speraw

Paul Speraw was a professional baseball player born in 1893, whose career was marked by a brief appearance in Major League Baseball. He played as a position player and had the unique distinction of being part of the game during a transitional period in baseball history. His time in the league was fleeting, as he participated in only one game on September 15, 1920. Despite not recording any hits, home runs, or RBIs during that singular contest, Speraw's participation in the major leagues places him among the ranks of those who have had the opportunity to play at the highest level of the sport, albeit for a moment. The early 1920s were a time of significant change in baseball as the sport began to emerge from the shadows of the deadball era and embrace a more vigorous style of play. Speraw's legacy, while not defined by statistics, serves as a reminder of the countless players who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history, each with their own unique stories.
