Howie Haak
Howard Frederick Haak (August 28, 1911 — February 22, 1999; ; rhymes with "take") was an American professional baseball scout for almost 50 years, from the end of World War II through his retirement. ==Scouted Latin America and Caribbean== Although he spoke little Spanish, he became perhaps the best-known Major League Baseball scout of his era who worked in Latin America and the Caribbean, and signed "scores of players" during his career from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Cuba, and the Virgin Islands — most of them for the Pittsburgh Pirates, for whom Haak worked for 38 years. Haak also played a key role in the Pirates' decision to select Roberto Clemente in the 1954 Rule 5 draft; the right fielder from Puerto Rico would go on to make 3,000 hits, win two World Series championships and the 1971 World Series MVP award, and earn an immediate place in the Baseball Hall of Fame upon his death in an airplane crash while on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua.〔(Obituary, ''The New York Times,'' March 1, 1999 )〕
