And then there is Jesse "Tiny" Baker. He played shortstop for Washington in the September 14, 1919 game against Detroit.

Close enough to *smell* the coffee.
Many fall in this category, including a T207 set collector's nemesis: Irving Lewis
 Keith Olbermann's SABR article on Lewis provides his minimal contribution to the game as: ... When Lewis finally appeared in a Braves’ game, it was not behind the plate, but as a pitcher. On April 28, 1912, he defeated the Paterson team of the Inter-State League in a Sunday exhibition game played in New Jersey. Lewis struck out four, walked five and gave up nine hits in the 4-3 triumph. His pitching opponent that day was Paterson’s player-manager, Andy Coakley, a veteran of Connie Mack’s pitching staffs in Philadelphia. That exhibition game victory and those four spring training at-bats were the extent of Irving Lewis’ major league career, such as it was ...

In 1905, Charles Fallon appeared as a pinch runner for Deacon McGuire in a NYAL game. Never got an at bat and never played in majors again.

Bob Hegman played one-half of an inning for the Royals in 1985 as a defensive replacement. No plate appearances, no defensive chances, etc.
