Paciorek definitely qualifies. He's not quite as obscure as Reilly because you will hear Paciorek's name pop up from time to time due to his 1.000 average, but playing one game definitely works. The other two both played ten seasons. Not what I was looking for, but definitely odd book choices for sure.
