Jim Derrington edit
- ... that Jim Derrington is both the youngest pitcher to start a game and the youngest player to record a base hit in American League history? Source(s): "Youngest Starter, Regular Season: Jim Derrington, Chicago White Sox, 1956: 16 years 306 days." New York Times, part of a list; Derrington also singled that day, making him the youngest player in American League history to get a hit, an honor he also still retains. Los Angeles Times (which is from 1991, but still applicable)

- Comment: I wanted to make a hook about him being the last 16-year-old in MLB history but I can't find a good source for that.
