Hugh Alexander (baseball)

Hugh Alexander (July 10, 1917 – November 25, 2000) was an American professional baseball player and scout. He was an outfielder during his brief playing career, but after he suffered a career-ending injury at the age of 20 he became one of baseball's most celebrated scouts.〔(''The New York Times,'' November 29, 2000 )〕
Born in Buffalo, Missouri, Alexander the player stood tall, weighed , and batted and threw right-handed. He spent 1936 and 1937 in the lower levels of the Cleveland Indians' farm system, and batted .348 and .344 in successive seasons.〔(Minor league record from Baseball Reference )〕 Called to the Majors, he appeared in seven games for the Indians, getting one hit in eleven at bats (.091) and striking out five times. That offseason, while working in the oil fields in Oklahoma, he lost his left hand in a drilling accident, ending his playing career.〔McKenna, Brian. ''Early exits: the premature endings of baseball careers'', Rowman & Littlefield, 2007, p. 211. ISBN 0-8108-5858-4〕
In the aftermath of the accident, Alexander was immediately named a scout for the Indians; at 20, he was unusually young for the assignment and scouting jobs were at a premium during the height of The Great Depression.〔 But the first two players he signed for Cleveland became big-league All-Starspitcher Allie Reynolds and outfielder Dale Mitchell.〔 During a 64-year, eight-decade scouting career, working for the Indians, Chicago White Sox, Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs, Alexander earned the nickname "Uncle Hughie"〔(''The St. Petersburg Times,'' November 29, 2000 )〕 and would sign other stars, including Steve Garvey, Frank Howard, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and Don Sutton for the Dodgers alone.〔
In 1984 Alexander co-founded the "Scout of the Year Program", which recognised the best scouts in the country each year. Alexander was awarded "Scout of the Year" in 1996.
