I accidentally came across a reference to this person (Baker, Jesse "Tiny" - original name: Michael Myron Silverman). He played just one game in the majors (in 1919) during his career. Had no at bats that game (but had an RBI somehow). Was spiked by Ty Cobb, left the game, and never played in the majors again. Of course, he'll always be in the player record books as having played in the majors and so is "immortalized". Anyhow, it just seemed interesting to me and I thought it might be to someone else(?)
