Ted Sullivan

Ted Sullivan, born in 1851, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned the brief period from July 16, 1884, to October 18, 1884. During this time, he played a total of 3 games, showcasing his skills as a position player. Sullivan recorded 3 hits, resulting in a batting average of .333, a notable accomplishment within the context of the era. However, he did not hit any home runs or drive in runs (RBIs), and he did not record any stolen bases throughout his short time in Major League Baseball. Although Sullivan's playing career was limited, he contributed to the early development of the game during a time when baseball was still evolving into a professional sport. The 1880s marked the tail end of the so-called "deadball era," characterized by low-scoring games and a focus on strategy over power hitting. While Sullivan's statistical output may not have made him a household name, his participation in the majors reflects the spirit of the time and the opportunities that were beginning to open up for players in the burgeoning landscape of professional baseball.
