Comment: Think of it this way: if a pitcher played one game in the Major League today, there would be virtually no question of his notability. Even casual baseball enthusiasts would probably know his name, and he would have widespread coverage in the media easily accesible on the internet. Now remember that |notability is not temporary; this is the reason thlete exists written as it does. There would likely be no question of that same athlete's notablity today, but since it was so long ago, sources are hard to find, and most people don't know his name firsthand since they were not alive at the time

Comment: I created this article in conjunction with my List of athletes from Maryland project.  I only included persons on that list who met the  criteria.  I understand the comments for removing the article, but must disagree.  The history of baseball is replete with players who may have played limited games as the highest level of the sport.  These players are significant not only from the shear joy of having such a complete history of the game but also for statistical analysis and Sabermetrics|sabermetrics

Comment: This is an obvious keep (see ). Playing in one Major League game makes him ''de facto'' notable

Comment: This person clearly meets  and . It's a well-written article and all of the facts are independently verified from reliable sources. He is referenced in multiple independent sources; although he only played in one game, this kind of article can be very useful for the encyclopedia as a whole, particularly when used via something like DB-pedia and there are no problems here. I can see no reason or purpose in departing from these guidelines in this case. In fact, there are significant risks if articles like this are deleted or even AFD'd that the kind of editors who regularly add content will feel demotivated; it's not fair on them to establish guidelines, encourage them to add content, only for us to whimsically decide later to change the rules and throw their work in the bin
