Biography

John Sullivan, born in 1894, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief period in the late 1910s. He played during a time when Major League Baseball was transitioning out of the deadball era, a period characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on defense and pitching. Sullivan's career in the big leagues was short-lived, as he appeared in only 4 games from July 19, 1919, to September 26, 1919. Throughout his time in the majors, Sullivan recorded no hits and maintained a batting average of 0.0. Despite the lack of offensive success, he managed to contribute 1 run batted in (RBI) during his appearances. With no stolen bases or home runs to his name, Sullivan's playing style did not leave a significant mark on the game, but his presence in the league during this transitional phase remains a part of baseball history. His brief stint reflects the challenges many players faced during the competitive landscape of early 20th-century baseball.
