May 17, 1927

Joe Brown, born in Little Rock (Pulaski County), pitched to three batters for the Chicago White Sox. Brown walked one batter and gave up two hits; all three players scored for the opposition. Brown never had another chance to pitch for a major league team. Another short career was that of Sid Benton, born in Buckner (Lafayette County), who pitched in his only game for the St. Louis Cardinals. Benton walked the only two batters he faced and never returned to the mound for a major league team.
