William McKinley "Pinky" Hargrave (January 31, 1896 – October 3, 1942) was an American baseball catcher. He played professional baseball for 19 years from 1919 to 1937, including 10 years in Major League Baseball with the Washington Senators (1923–1925, 1930–1931), St. Louis Browns (1925–1926), Detroit Tigers (1928–1930), and Boston Braves (1932–1933).

Early years

Hargrave was born in New Haven, Indiana, in 1896.[1] He was the younger brother of Bubbles Hargrave, who was a catcher in the major leagues between 1913 and 1930.[2][3]

Professional baseball

Hargrave began playing professional baseball for Waterbury in the Eastern League in 1919 and 1920. He next played for the New Haven Weissmen in the Eastern League from 1920 to 1922. He compiled a .321 batting average for New Haven in 119 games during the 1922 season.[3]

He made his major league debut at age 27 on May 18, 1923, with the Washington Senators. In 10 major league seasons, Hargrave played in 650 games (442 as catcher) and hit .278 with a .339 on-base percentage and a .428 slugging percentage. He had 1,452 putouts, 445 hits, 265 RBIs, 246 assists, 177 runs, 146 extra base hits, and 140 walks. His best season was 1929 with the Tigers, when he batted .330. Hargrave played his last major league game on September 23, 1933.[1]

Hargrave continued to play in the minor leagues for five additional years. He played for the Minneapolis Millers from 1934 to 1936 and was selected in 1934 as the Most Valuable Player in the American Association after compiling a .356 batting average with 17 home runs.[3][4] He concluded his career with the Syracuse Chiefs in the International League in 1938.[3]

Later years

After retiring from baseball, Hargrave worked at a municipal light plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana.[3] He also worked as an umpire for Big Ten Conference baseball games.[5] He died of a heart attack in November 1942 while helping to convert a Fort Wayne baseball field into a football field.[6]
