Of course, the most famous being good ol' Irv Lewis. Not only did he not make the Boston roster, but also never made Lowell roster, of which he was designated. So absolutely no "organized" baseball at all.
I also enjoy looking up the players if the bio. sparks an interest. Of which, Eugene Woodburn being one of them (mainly because of the mention of his control issues):
Attachment 562438
So let's take a look at some of his Major Lg. stats:
2 years // 2 - 10 record // 5.50 ERA // 86 IP // 82 BB // .053 BA
You can read more if interested:

Him being a great ventriloquist is the best part .............. 
Anyway ............. Would anyone like to share their favorite "unknowns" ?? Or, can you "beat" any of Woodburn's "records" ???
Fun, fun, Scott  |
Just for the record, Irving B. Lewis played in 5 games for Lynn of the New England League in 1912, going 0 for 9.
