A total of 18, men have taken the field throughout the history of Major League Baseball 18, if the National Association is counted as major league, a point of contention among baseball historians. Further complicating these matters is the fact that there are players who are believed to have only played in one game in their major league career, hardly giving statisticians and team record keepers time to collect information on those players.

Perhaps the greatest exception to this norm is the case of Moonlight Graham, who played two innings of a single game for the New York Giants on 29 June Of the players who played in only one game, 24 are known only by their surname, and finding career information on men named Collins, Evans, Jones, Lewis, and Smith will be difficult, if not impossible.

Despite the challenges they face, historians have compiled comprehensive biographical records on 3, players, providing researchers with a useful resource for understanding the life and times of many men who played in the Major Leagues.
