Hoderlein (June 24, 1923 – May 21, 2001) was a utility infielder in
Major League Baseball who played from 1951 through 1954 for the Boston
Red Sox (1951) and Washington Senators (1952-54). Listed at 5′ 10″, 185
lb., Hoderlein was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed. He was born
in Mount Carmel, Ohio. A steady infielder with good instincts, Hoderlein
is better known as a player who was part of seven major league
franchises but only played for two of them. At age 28, it was a long way
for Hoderlein, who spent four years of active military service and six
seasons in the minors playing for the Reds, Cubs, Yankees and Red Sox
systems (1941, 1946-50).
