I was goofing around at baseball-reference, checking out the “cup of coffee” list (players who only appeared in one game) and created a roster. Each of these players had a career ending debut that was especially unique. Team Name: Caffeinators POS FIRST LAST B / T Noted For C Aubrey Epps R / R Best game by C (3-4, 3B, R, 3 RBI) 1B Tom Pratt L / R Best game by 1B (2-6, 2 R, RBI) 2B Dutch Schirick R / R Only player to steal 2 bases; no official AB 3B Ray Jansen R / R Best game by 3B (4-5) SS Tony Ordenana R / R Best game by SS (2-4, 3 RBI) LF Reddy Grey L / L Only player with 1 H, 1 BB, 1 R and 1 RBI CF Moonlight Graham L / R Immortalized in Field of Dreams RF John Paciorek R / R Best game by OF (3-3, 4 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB) C Chuck Lindstrom R / R Highest SLG and OPS 1B Ron Wright R / R Worst game (0-3, K, GIDP, GITP) 2B Unknown Wood ? / ? Only player to go 0-for-5 2B Jerry Lynn R / R Best game by 2B (2-3, 2B) 3B Ed Irvin R / R Only player to collect 2 triples SS Jesse Baker R / R Only position player to have RBI in 0 AB's SS Rit Harrison L / R Best game by UT (2-4, RBI, CS) CF Washington Fulmer L / L Best game by CF (2-4, R, RBI) RF Joe Campbell R / R Only position player to strikeout in all 3 PA's PH Eddie Gaedel R / L Immortal dwarf, shortest player in MLB history SP George Knight ? / ? Most K's (W, 9 IP, 12 H, 0 BB, 12 K, 2 ER) SP George Snyder ? / ? Best CG (W, 9 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 0 K, 0 ER) SP Kid Keenan R / R Worst luck (L, 8 IP, 6 H, 4 BB, 5 K, 9 R, 0 ER) SP Monte Swartz R / R Most IP & BF (L, 12 IP, 17 H, 2 BB, 2 K, 6 ER) SP King Bailey L / L Best hitting P (2-4, 2B, 2 R, RBI, SB) (W, 8 IP, 5 ER) SP Unknown Lewis ? / ? Most ER (L, 3 IP, 13 H, 7 BB, K, 20 ER) SP Chris Saenz R / R Best emergency start (W, 6 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 7 K, 0 ER) LR Sammy Curran L / L Best long relief (6.2 IP, 6 H, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 ER) MR Rome Chambers L / L Ugliest SV (SV, 4 IP, 5 H, 5 BB, 2 K, 5 ER) MR Bill Childers ? / ? Worst 0 IP (0 IP, 2 H, 6 BB, 0 K, 3 WP, 6 ER) SU Roger Slagle R / R Strongest finish (2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 K, 0 ER) SU Rufus Meadows L / L Best game by LOOGY (0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 K, 0 ER) CL Harry Hedgpeth L / L Most efficient SV (SV, 1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 K, 0 ER) A team made up of Negro Leaguers would be awesome, too. |

In fact, slang like this is usually rooted in literal truth, so I wouldn't be surprised if was coined by a player who was called up for a game, sat on the bench and drank coffee, and then returned to the sand lot the next day. Players still down copious amounts of coffee (and Red Bull) during games. |

Yeah, you're probably right. Not all players down coffeee and red bull during games, but yes, some do. |

How about heaviest or slowest players for each position ? Or great players that had great stats but didn't get to play in an all-star match in their career. Or select a team's greatest year, and create the players from that squad. Examples may include; Tampa Bay 2008, Toronto BlueJays 1992/93, Pittsburgh Pirates 90-93 I think, the 3 straight years they were knocked out by the Braves I think. San Diego Padres 1997 |
