Phil Mudrock is my all time favorite one inning guy because of his name. He threw one inning for the Cubs April 19, 1963. Adam Greenberg of the Cubs would have had the all time single Major League appearance when he was hit in the head by the only pitch he ever saw against the Marlins in 2005 but the Marlins screwed that up by letting him bat in a promotional stunt seven years later in 2012 and he struck out on three pitches. Another good one is Larry Yount, older brother of Robin Yount. He was warming up to pitch his major league debut in the ninth inning for the Astros on September 15, 1971 but blew out his elbow on a warm up pitch and had to leave before facing a batter. Since he was announced he was officially in a game even though he never actually played.
