Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography
Earl Walter Hersh (May 21, 1932 – March 18, 2013), was an American professional baseball outfielder, who played seven games in Major League Baseball (MLB), for the Milwaukee Braves, during the Шаблон:By season. He was originally signed by the Braves, as an amateur free agent, prior to the Шаблон:By season.[1] Hersh also played in the Puerto Rico Baseball League.[2]
Hersh graduated from West Chester Teachers College in 1953. He was inducted into that institution's Athletic Hall of Fame. A two-sport athlete, Hersh was recognized separately, in both football (1982), and baseball (1992).[3][4] An end, he was also drafted by the National Football League (NFL) Philadelphia Eagles, in the 27th round of the 1953 NFL Draft, but elected to play baseball professionally.
In Шаблон:By, Hersh won the American Association RBI title, while playing for the Wichita Braves.[5] On May 28, 1959, he was traded to the Detroit Tigers as part of a four-player deal, but was returned to the Braves system when another player involved in the trade refused to report to his new team.[6]
A curious fact is that all three of Hersh's big league hits were doubles,[1] which ties him with Verdo Elmore and Dennis Powell for the most hits in an MLB career, where all of the player's hits were two-baggers.
Hersh was born in Ebbvale, Maryland. He spent most of his adult life in the field of education, serving as an educator, administrator, and coach, retiring in 1992.[3] Hersh died in Hanover, Pennsylvania, on March 18, 2013.[1]
