Autographs of Hank Sauer
Henry John “Hank” Sauer (March 17, 1917 – August 24, 2001) was an American professional baseball player, coach and scout. He appeared in 1,399 games, primarily as a left fielder, in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds (1941–1942, 1945, 1948–1949), Chicago Cubs (1949–1955), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), and New York / San Francisco Giants (1957–1959). A popular player with the Cubs where he had his peak seasons, he was known as "the Mayor of Wrigley Field".
A two-time All-Star, Sauer hit more than 30 home runs six times in the seven seasons of 1948 through 1954 (limited to only 19 in 1953 after suffering a broken hand). He was a feared slugger for the early-1950s Cubs, exceeding the 30-homer mark five times in a Chicago uniform, with a career-high of 41 in 1954. His most productive season came in 1952, when Sauer led the National League in home runs (37, tied with Ralph Kiner) and runs batted in (121), and was named the Most Valuable Player. Sauer and Johnny Bench are the only players in major league history ever to have hit three homers in a single game twice against the same pitcher. He did it 1950 and 1952 while with the Cubs, victimizing Curt Simmons of the Philadelphia Phillies. A younger brother, Ed, also an outfielder, played in 189 games in the majors for three National League teams during the 1940s.
Sauer was born on March 17, 1917, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was raised in Bellevue, Pennsylvania and attended Sam Hamilton High School, where he played three years on the baseball, basketball and football teams, and also set records as a swimmer.
