Default 1923-24 Billiken Hank Schreiber

Henry "Hank" W. Schreiber played in the major leagues over parts of five different seasons for five different teams. He had 18 hits in 96 career plate appearances.

Schreiber accumulated some strange records such as being the only player to play for five major league teams in five non-consecutive years, never playing on more than one team per season, and never at any point appearing in the majors in two consecutive seasons. Another record was that he played for the most major league teams without ever accumulating enough career at-bats to officially qualify as a rookie (since tied).

Schreiber's most important MLB performance came in 1919 as he filled in for an injured Heinie Groh for the month of September on the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds won the World Series in 1919, bur Schreiber did not appear in any of the World Series games.
