Montgomery Marcellus "Monte" Pearson (September 2, 1908 – January 27, 1978) was an American baseball pitcher who played ten seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Nicknamed "Hoot", he played for the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds from 1932 to 1941.
He batted and threw right-handed and served primarily as a starting pitcher. Pearson played minor league baseball for three different teams until 1932, when he signed with the Cleveland Indians.
After spending four seasons with the organization, Pearson was traded to the New York Yankees, where he spent the next five years.
At the conclusion of the 1940 season, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds, with whom he played his last game on August 5, 1941.
A four-time World Series champion, Pearson holds the MLB record for lowest walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) in the postseason.
He is most famous for pitching the first no-hitter at the original Yankee Stadium.
