Moonlight Graham has become part of baseball lore following the portrayals of him in the novel “Shoeless Joe” by W.P. Kinsella and the movie based on it, “Field of Dreams”.
He became a part of the book because of the noteworthy-ness of unfortunate nature of his baseball career. Graham came in to play the field late in a game, and never got the chance to bat. He was due up to bat next when the last out of the inning was made in the ninth.
Most non-pitcher baseball players will get at least one at bat in their major league career.
