His battery mate, left above, is Conrad Fisher, also the team's manager." Additional information not included in the Daily Oklahoman caption: Earl Eugene Huckleberry was born in Konawa, Oklahoma. He is part of baseball history because his entire major league baseball career consisted of one (1) game. Huckleberry was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics and pitched one game in Philadelphia on Friday, September 13 against the Chicago White Sox. Huckleberry was the winning pitcher in a 14-5 victory. He was sent back to Oklahoma and never played major league baseball again. He continued to pitch for various Oklahoma semi-pro teams through the 1940's.
