Finally someone said Mark Fidrych. I have one that I need someone's help to find out. I saw this one time in Bleacher Report that some West Coast team, I think the Giants or the Dodgers had this one first baseman bat .600 in spring training. Excited, the Giants immediately made him their starting 1st baseman where he went on to be a huge bust and disappoint. I'll be searching for it but I might need some help

Ray Fosse was mentioned in a side note and not as a nominee, but he may actually qualify even with the "stricter" criteria.  He's more or less known to most baseball fans these days as the guy Pete Rose wrecked in an All-Star game.

Another guy who had a long and good career who is clearly most famous for one moment, albeit and bad one, is Bill Buckner.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Randy Elliott...  this article lists some nicknames and some stats.  I seem to remember him as the Phoenix Phenom or some equally lame nickname.
