Biography
Pete Turgeon was a professional baseball player born in 1897, who played as a position player during a brief career from 1923 to 1923. His time in Major League Baseball was limited to just three games, but he made his mark during a transitional period in the sport, shortly after the end of the deadball era.
Throughout his time in the league, Turgeon recorded one hit in three games, finishing his career with a batting average of .167. While he did not achieve significant power numbers, with zero home runs and no runs batted in (RBIs), his presence in the big leagues reflected the competitive nature of early 20th-century baseball, where players often had to fight for their place in a rapidly evolving game. Despite the brevity of his career, Turgeon's brief stint in Major League Baseball remains a part of the rich tapestry of the sport's history.
