Taking things to another level, I found that at least 6 players in the 1911 Obak set played in just a single Major League game, which surprised me that there was so many. I'm not positive if it is a complete list, but here is what I found:
Phil Cooney - 1905 New York Yankees 3 AB
Lee 'Flame' Delhi - 1912 White Sox 3 IP
Monty Pyfl - 1907 Giants 1 PA
Hunky Shaw - 1908 Pirates 1 AB
Dave Skeels - 1910 Tigers 6 IP
Con Starkel - 1906 Senators 3 IP
As a side note, I love the back write-ups on the 1911 Obak set. Note how many 'clevers' you can spot, and doesn't every team need a player who plays a snappy game, is an enthusiastic worker, and to top it all off has a good supply of 'ginger'.
