Shanty Hogan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Francis "Shanty" Hogan (March 21, 1906 - April 7, 1967) was a Major League Baseball catcher from 1925 to 1937. Hogan was listed at 6'1", 240 pounds - an exceptionally large player, especially for his era.[1] Due to this, there are many anecdotes relating to Hogan and food. This included several conflicts with manager John McGraw, who often attempted to persuade Hogan to lose weight.[2] He was generally known as a good natured ballplayer and a decent hitter who often hit over .300 in a season.[2]
