Leonard Curtis Pearson (May 23, 1918 – December 7, 1980), nicknamed "Hoss", was an American baseball first baseman in the Negro leagues.

[1] Pearson started his Negro league career at the age of 19 with the Newark Eagles.

Only six other players in Negro league baseball history had achieved a batting Triple Crown, and it was Pearson and Ted Strong of the Negro American League that year that were the last players to achieve a batting Triple Crown.

He made the All-Star team for the 1945 and 1946 seasons while batting .300 in each year (including leading the league in stolen bases with seventeen in 1946).
