Edward “Dad” Lytle, second baseman/outfielder for the 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys.

He began the 1890 season in the minors, making his big league debut on August 11th with the Chicago Colts, who were playing the Alleghenys. Lytle played right field and went 0-for-4 that day with a run scored. The next day he was with Pittsburgh, playing 15 straight games before his Major League career ended on August 28th. With Pittsburgh he hit just .145 with no RBIs in 55 at-bats. Lytle never played on a winning team in the majors.

Lytle played another ten seasons in the minors following his only brief stint in the majors.
