One game, six outs made, and that's it

Lee Jenkins of the New York Times profiles Ron Wright, whose big league career consisted of one game for the Seattle Mariners on April 14, 2002.

Wright batted three times against Kenny Rogers of Texas and struck out, grounded into a triple play, and then grounded into a double play. Mark McLemore pinch hit for Wright in the seventh inning. The Mariners won the game 9-7.

He never played in the majors again. Wright is studying for a pharmacy degree in Idaho now and has no regrets about his baseball career.

A highly inauspicious debut/career-ender to be sure. But, "Scoreboard, Baby"...Ron Wright made it to The Show and that's a whole lot more than I could ever say.
