Fred Walden

Fred Walden was a professional baseball player born in 1890, whose brief career in the Major Leagues spanned a single day on June 3, 1912. As a position player, Walden made an appearance in one game, where he unfortunately did not manage to secure a hit, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. His career in the majors was notably short, resulting in no recorded home runs, RBIs, or stolen bases. While his time on the field was limited, Walden's entry into professional baseball came during a transformative period in the sport, just before the onset of the deadball era, which significantly influenced the style of play in the years that followed. Despite the fleeting nature of his Major League experience, Walden remains a part of baseball history, representing the many players who aspired to compete at the highest level, even if only for a moment.
