Jay Steven Dahl (December 6, 1945 – June 20, 1965) was an American baseball player who made his debut in Major League Baseball at age 17 in 1963, then died less than two years later in a car crash. ==Career== Signed by the Houston Colt .45s directly out of high school in Colton, California in June 1963, Dahl was sent to the Moultrie, Georgia Colt .22s of the Georgia–Florida League. Dahl dominated the league, with a 5–1 record and a 1.42 ERA—his only loss was a one-hitter, in his pro debut.〔(Jay Dahl's Non-No-Hitter )〕 After making one start for the San Antonio Bullets of the Double-A Texas League (pitching four innings and allowing only three hits and an unearned run), he made his big-league debut on September 27, 1963 at Colt Stadium against the New York Mets. Dahl wasn't the only rookie in the lineup for Houston that night; in fact, the entire Colts starting nine were first-year players (the only time this has ever been attempted by an MLB club): ;Houston Colt .45s starting lineup, September 27, 1963 * Sonny Jackson, SS * Joe Morgan, 2B * Jim Wynn, CF * Rusty Staub, 1B * Aaron Pointer, RF * Brock Davis, LF * Glenn Vaughan, 3B * Jerry Grote, C * Jay Dahl, P Dahl got New York out in the first inning, but allowed three runs in the second and four more in the third before being removed by manager Harry Craft. (Danny Coombs and Joe Hoerner, who followed Dahl on the mound for Houston, were also making their MLB debuts.) The Mets went on to win, 10–3.〔(Boxscore )〕 It was to be Dahl's only major league appearance. (As of 2013, Dahl is the most recent MLB player under the age of eighteen.) In 1964, Dahl developed back problems and did not pitch at all, appearing in eleven games as an outfielder for Statesville Colts in the Western Carolinas League. In 1965, Dahl was back on the mound, starting seven games with Carolina League's Durham Bulls, then moving over to the Salisbury Astros of the WCL, where he had a 5–0 record.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=dahl--001jay )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jay Dahl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
