Yankee Sips of Coffee
 

There are 78 players that have had a one game appearance with the Yankees. A subset of 30 players had their only major league appearance with the Yankees. There is a smaller subset of 7 players who had one ML game with NYY but no minor league appearances that I could find.

I put together a Word doc that includes appearance date, photos, autiographs, etc for anyone interested (and who wouldn't be-LOL)

If you PM with an email address I will forward it. Any edits, better NY uni photos or missing autographs would be appreciated.

Great research! I have a similar list of guys who played only a single game for Cleveland, although I'm not done researching what other teams they may have played for. The most interesting thing to me in a list like this is how few of these players are depicted on a baseball card wearing the uniform of your chosen team. When you only play 1 game its often quite difficult to find a card or even photo of such players at all, let alone with their 1-gamer team. Of the 80 or so players in my list, I am only aware of 10 players having cards depicting them with the Indians, or 12.5% of these players. For comparison, 43.5% of all players who played for the Indians in their first decade 1901-1910 have a card depicting that person with the team.

I am guessing your percentage of one-gamer Yankees who have a card depicting that person as a Yankee would be similarly low.

I have 20 with photos in NYY uni either original or online; 7 have a baseball card; 16 autographs.
Of the 30, 8 have no card or image in a NYY uni that I can find. I think the number of photographers in the NY area makes a difference. See nice Conlon of Walter Bernhardt in 1918 below as example.

Who are the eight players with no Yankees image?

There are 9, I can't count!

George Batten
Phil Cooney
Charles Fallon
Arthur Goodwin
James Hanley
Harry Hanson
Lawrence McClure
Herman Odom
Ed Quick

Good stuff! Who had the best “one game”? The worst?

On Sept 17, 1982 Stefan Wever gave up 8 earned runs in 2.2 innings for a 27.00 ERA.

On Oct 4, 1964 Elvio Jimenez went 2 for 6 in a Yankee loss to Cleveland. Heinie Odom on Apr 22 1925 had a hit in his only ML at bat.
