Earl Torgeson

Clifford Earl Torgeson (January 1, 1924 – November 8, 1990) was an American Major League Baseball player from Snohomish, Washington.

He attended Snohomish High School and he served in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1943 to 1945.

In one game in 1959, during an inning against Kansas City where the White Sox scored 11 runs on one hit, he got a pinch-hit walk.

In 1961, for example, playing out the string for the New York Yankees, he hit only .111 in 18 at-bats, but drew eight walks for a .385 on-base percentage.

Torgeson managed only three total hits in 33 at-bats between the two teams, playing also exclusively as a pinch hitter.
