I think there's a seemingly endless list of books about obscure baseball players. John Paciorek, who played exactly one game? Yep, he's got one. Greg Pryor, a random utility infielder who somehow managed to be at Disco Demolition and the Pine Tar Game? Yep. John D'Acquisto, who won just 34 games? Yep. And on and on.

Paciorek definitely qualifies. He's not quite as obscure as Reilly because you will hear Paciorek's name pop up from time to time due to his 1.000 average, but playing one game definitely works. The other two both played ten seasons. Not what I was looking for, but definitely odd book choices for sure.

Thought you might be referencing Moe Berg. He was an amazing scholar and spy, but a mediocre player. His book was a tough read, but I am proud to say I read the whole thing.

One of the authors is also named Thomas Reilly - a relative I assume which might explain why he wrote it.

In the preview of the intro he said he researched whether or not they were related and he couldn't find any connections. He also said his intentions were to just do a SABR bio, but the amount of info he found turned it into a book.

Yale Murphy comes to mind. I think he got a book about him before he started coaching and he got an N300 Mayo card on about 50 games played.

I love when obscure-ish athletes have books done on them. There's a ton of them in the boxing realm to.

It's a way of making the memory of somebody, somewhat immortal.

Even if it's done by a family member and doesn't have much of a print run, and maybe it's not a real scorching read.... it's still a tribute to somebody signifying that they spent a lot of time and resources in making sure the memory of somebody can stay alive for future generations.
