Don Rose 1971
The Nolan Ryan trade is interesting; the images of Rose in his two-game major league farewell with the Giants in 1974 constitute the news. There aren't even quality black and white San Francisco images of him.
Parenthetically, Rose surely generated a lot of news for a fellow who saw action in only 19 games. In 1972 he became only the fifth player in baseball history to hit a homer on the first pitch he ever saw. He only hit two more in 250 minor league plate appearances.
