"Grubb is one of eleven Indians (including pitchers) to finish his career with a perfect on base percentage of 1.000 and he is the only one of the group to do so without a hit." - from a 2015 article [1] about Harvey Grubb

Harvey Grubb had only one day in the majors, but it was perfect. At the plate, he had one appearance and was hit by a pitch, thus posting an OBP of 1.000. In the field, he played one inning and handled his one chance flawlessly, for a fielding percentage of 1.000. What a day!

Among other places, he played five years in Waco, TX and four years in Corsicana, TX. He was primarily a third baseman.
