Biography

Art Doll was a professional baseball player born in 1913, whose career spanned from 1935 to 1938. Primarily serving as a position player, Doll made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball, participating in a total of 7 games. During his time in the league, he recorded 2 hits, resulting in a batting average of 0.154. His contributions at the plate did not include any home runs or runs batted in, and he did not attempt any stolen bases throughout his career. Doll's playing career unfolded during a transitional period in baseball, as the sport was beginning to emerge from the shadow of the Great Depression and evolve towards a more competitive and commercially viable enterprise. Though his time in the major leagues was limited, his presence in the game represents the numerous players who aspired to make their mark in the sport during the late 1930s, a time when the league was still dominated by a handful of superstars. After his retirement on September 29, 1938, Doll's story serves as a reminder of the many individuals who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball history, even if only for a fleeting moment.
