Calvin Grey Hogue was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who appeared in 25 Major League Baseball games between 1952 and 1954 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The native of Dayton, Ohio, stood 6 feet tall and weighed 185 pounds. Hogue spent his rookie season, and 19 games of his MLB career, on one of the worst teams in history: the 1952 Pirates, who won only 42 of 154 games and finished 54� games out of first place in the National League. Recalled by Pittsburgh after compiling a 10?3 record with the Class A Charleston Rebels of the Sally League, Hogue threw a complete game, four-hit 2?1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in his second appearance in the Major Leagues on July 17. But he was hit hard in his next start, also against the Phillies, allowing ten earned runs in three innings pitched and taking the loss in 14?4 Phillie win. He started ten more games for the Pirates, but failed to win another game, finishing 1?8, although he did throw two more complete games. Hogue spent most of 1953 in the Double-A Texas League, and pitched in three games for the Pirates. [More at Wikipedia]
