Fred Worden

Fred Worden was a professional baseball player born in 1894, whose fleeting career in Major League Baseball was marked by a single game appearance on September 28, 1914. Primarily serving as a position player, Worden's time in the major leagues was brief, and he recorded no hits, runs batted in, home runs, or stolen bases, finishing his career with a batting average of 0.0. Despite the brevity of his career, Worden's involvement in the 1914 season placed him within the context of an evolving era in baseball. The early 20th century was characterized by the deadball era, a time when offensive statistics were low and the game was defined by strategy and small ball tactics. While Worden's contributions were minimal, his presence in the major leagues reflects the depth of talent and the competitive nature of the sport during that time. His singular game remains a testament to the countless players who aspired to make their mark in professional baseball, even if only for a moment.
