Biography

Forrest More was a professional baseball pitcher who played in the early 20th century, making his mark in Major League Baseball during the 1909 season. Born in 1881, More's career in the majors spanned from April 15 to September 8 of that year. He played for a brief period, finishing with a record of 2 wins and 10 losses and an earned run average (ERA) of 4.74. Over the course of his short stint in the big leagues, More recorded a total of 27 strikeouts but did not achieve any saves. Competing in an era characterized by the transition from the deadball era to the more offensive-minded game that would follow, More's contributions on the mound were part of the larger narrative of baseball's evolution. While his time in the majors was limited, he represented the many players of his time who sought to establish themselves in a sport that was beginning to see significant changes in both playing style and fan engagement. More's legacy, though modest in terms of statistics, reflects the rich tapestry of early baseball history.
