Over the years, millions have dreamed of playing major-league baseball, but only around 20,000 players have put on a big-league uniform. Some had lengthy careers, some much briefer-including a surprising number who had just one base hit: close to 1,400 of them. Some of these "one-hit wonders" were pitchers, and not expected to hit-though right-hander Fred Gladding had 68 plate appearances with just one hit. Others simply had such short careers, they consisted of one game-or less.
