Show Your One and Done's - Single Season Players

[GeoPoto]

Jim Banning actually "played" two seasons -- in 1888 he appeared in one game without a plate appearance and made it back in 1889 to appear in two more games and get his only MLB plate appearance. He made an out.

Primarily known as a manager, but played shortstop for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1891 — 3 G, 13 PA, 11 AB. Never got a hit, but walked and stole a base.

Here is a 1927 American Caramel (E126) card of Ernie Cox.

On May 5, 1922 in a 6-3 loss to Cleveland, he pitched one inning, facing 6 batters. He gave up only one hit but walked two, while allowing 3 stolen bases and two of the runners to score to give him an ERA of 18.00.

That was his only Major League appearance.

With sincere apologies for straying from the OP's specific request, but I believe staying very much within the spirit of the theme, here is possibly my favorite possession.

I bought it from a board member years ago.

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'.

What modern players would you describe has having a good supply of ginger?

[Bill77]

I would think Justin Turner Would have plenty of ginger.
