Joseph Bartholomew “J. B.” Young, was born June 10, 1857, in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. He died on April 6, 1938, in Shamokin, Northumberland County. He holds the distinction of being one of only a small group of players who played in only one major league baseball game. In Young’s case it was done on his 35th birthday.
“Unhappily for Young, his outing on behalf of the 1892 St. Louis Browns was a nightmare: two innings-plus, 13 runs surrendered. He never appeared in another Browns game and was back home in Pennsylvania shortly thereafter. Yet like other one-game major leaguers, Joe Young (as he was known locally) led an interesting and productive life, active in the athletic, business, and political affairs of his adopted hometown of Mount Carmel.
A more complete baseball biography of J. B. Young can be found at Society for American Baseball Research, where the above quote is from. His major league stats are found at Baseball Reference.
