William Johnston Hogg (September 11, 1881 - December 8, 1909), nicknamed "Buffalo Bill," was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball, playing four seasons with the New York Highlanders from 1905-1908. Born in Port Huron, Michigan, Buffalo Bill Hogg played in 116 major league games and had a record of 37-50 in 730 innings pitched. In 1906, Hogg hit Cleveland Naps player Bill Bradley with a pitch, fracturing Bradley's arm, and was quoted saying: "That big Frenchman (Nap Lajoie) is next on my list." [1] Hogg died in in 1909 at age 28 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
