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.

Why do they call it "cup of coffee"? I've never understood that.



Anyways, ya this would be a good idea.

Because the player was in the big leagues long enough to have a cup of coffee and not much else. 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.

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
