"Similarity score" comparisons aren't provided at BBR for most guys who had extremely short MLB careers,
although Steve would be right, theoretically, a guy whose entire career consisted of, say, 0-for-1, would be
1000.0 identical to another guy with those identical stats.

Ray, you might want to set a minimum number of plate appearances or innings pitched to find what you're
really looking for. Here's a starter pair, found just at random, that involves two guys probably too obscure
and with careers too short to satisfy your search:
Tim Mauser (119 career IP) and Travis Phelps (106 career IP), 993.8 "similar."
Someone else on board can surely find a "similarity score" to top that, but we can't figure out
how to do a search for it at BBR...
