James Francis "Shanty" Hogan (March 21, 1906 – April 7, 1967) was an American professional baseball player.
He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher from 1925 to 1937.
Hogan was listed at 6'1", 240 pounds — an exceptionally large player, especially for his era.
Due to this, there are many anecdotes relating to Hogan and food.
This included several conflicts with manager John McGraw, who often attempted to persuade Hogan to lose weight.
He was generally known as a good natured ballplayer and a decent hitter who had his best years with the Giants, hitting over .300 for four consecutive seasons in New York.
