Player Biography
Young Waite Hoyt spent two seasons as mascot with the New York Giants while still a “Schoolboy Wonder” from Brooklyn. Later as a professional, he would find enormous success in the Bronx, helping the New York Yankees of the 1920s win six pennants during an eight-year span. Hoyt, who had excellent control, went on to pitch for five more teams, mainly in relief. A popular storyteller, Hoyt was one of the first players to succeed as a broadcaster, and was the voice of the Cincinnati Reds from 1942 to 1965. He was called “The Merry Mortician” for one off-season job and later became an accomplished painter and writer.
