Jack White, born in 1905, was a position player who had a brief career in Major League Baseball, playing from 1927 to 1928. Over the course of his time in the league, he appeared in just 6 games. Unfortunately, White's offensive contributions were minimal, as he finished his career with 0 hits, 0 home runs, and 0 RBIs, resulting in a batting average of .0.
