Harvey Blauvelt

Harvey King Blauvelt (December 1867 – May 25, 1929)[1] was a 19th-century Major League Baseball pitcher. He played in two games for the 1890 Rochester Broncos of the American Association. He was thought to be the youngest player in the league at the time (at age 17), but it was later discovered that he was 6 years older than originally thought, after his vital information was confused with that of another player.[2]
