Horace Milton "Hod" Lisenbee (September 23, 1898 – November 14, 1987) was an American professional baseball pitcher.

He would run to and from work and credits this time in his life as building endurance, a quality that helped him get through his lengthy baseball career.

Within two days, Lisenbee pitched a four-hit game against the Vicksburg team, including nine strikeouts, and notched a 4–1 win.

The Yankee hitting was vicious and frequently devoured pitchers in one inning, but Lisenbee appeared unflappable.

The Senators' starting pitcher had fallen behind 3–0 in the count and the manager told Lisenbee to walk Ruth.

Hod pitched the remaining seven and two-thirds innings for the win over the Yankees and he struck Ruth out three times in a row.

This was an apparent response to Lisenbee's scrawny appearance, or possibly his underhand or sidearm pitching delivery.

On September 11, 1936, the Philadelphia Athletics manager, Connie Mack, tried to minimize the number of pitchers to take on a road trip, in order to save money.

[6] Lisenbee equalled the record of Allan Travers, who also gave up 26 hits for the Detroit Tigers against the Philadelphia Athletics on May 18, 1912.

[6] Despite the number of White Sox batters coming to the plate, the game was finished in 1 hour and 57 minutes.

In 1942, Lisenbee retired from baseball to run the family farm and to help grow crops for the Army.

According to Lisenbee, in an article published by The Leaf-Chronicle newspaper in 1945, he was hailed as man of the year in Syracuse sports and when he left town, the local fans gave him $200 in war bonds.

During the 1948 season, he bought the remaining half of the team, but the Colts continued to have problems both in attracting paying customers with their playing abilities on the ball field.
