Harrison went hitless in two at bats, with one base on balls. His appearance did not impress either when fielding or batting, and a local newspaper's account of the game concluded of him that "If Manager Manning intended Harrison's appearance yesterday as a farewell joke, it is all right, and we will accept an apology, but if he was really serious and believed the fellow possessed the requisite qualities of a ball tosser, the local big chief is either deluding himself or else he is the victim of a gold brick enterprise."[1]
Harrison is one of three 20th-century Major League Baseball players not to have a confirmed first name, the other two being R. E. Hillebrand of the 1902 Chicago Orphans and Edwards of the 1915 Philadelphia Athletics.
