I recently wrote a book about Pittsburgh Pirates players who played one game in their career. Should be out later this month. In it I talked about Moonlight Graham as an inspiration for the book, but I noted that he actually played two innings in the field without a play. He played the bottom of the eighth and the bottom of the ninth according to all of the game reports. There are guys I mentioned who played less. One is Cy Neighbors, who actually did play one inning on defense in the outfield without a play for the 1908 Pirates. He replaced Hall of Famer Fred Clarke.
