Well, it's kinda a tough question. Jim Morris pitched exactly one game, on September 11, 1884, and I assure you that the box score isn't anywhere to be found online. Still, the most likely guy would be Dick Burns, a pitcher/outfielders who was the Cincinnati Outlaw Reds' best player. His high AB/G ratio suggests that he batted leadoff...he's my guess.

Unless you're talking about that 35-year-old rookie in 1999, in which case I guess "Royce Clayton." ;)
