Tex Hughson

Tex Hughson, born Cecil Carlton Hughson (February 9, 1916 - August 6, 1993), was a Major League Baseball starting pitcher who played his entire career in the American League with the Boston Red Sox (1941-44, 1946-49). He batted and threw right-handed. A native of Buda, Texas, Hughson assisted University of Texas at Austin. He was a successful and competitive pitcher in major league who wasn't not averse to throwing close to batters, changing speeds by mixing in a hard fastball and a overhand curveball. At the height of his career, injuries in his arm and shoulder threatened permanent disability and hastened his retirement. Hughson enjoyed his best season in 1942, posting a 22-6 record with a 2.59 ERA, and also leading the league in victories, strikeouts (113), complete games (22), innings pitched (281.0) and batters faced (1150). In 1943 he won 12 games with 114 strikeouts, a 2.64 ERA, and again led the league in complete games (20). He had a 18-5 mark in 1944, topping the league in winning percentage (.783) and WHIP (9.43), and also reached a career-best ERA of 2.26. After serving in the military for one year, Hughson won 20 games in 1946, led the league in walks per nine innings (1.65), set a career high in strikeouts with 179, and completed 30 of 35 starts. In 1947 Hughson won 12 games, and finished his career at 33 years old after two seasons as a reliever. In a eight-year career, Hughson posted a 96-54 record with 693 strikeouts and a 2.94 ERA in 1375.2 innings. His control was so good, that he recorded an effective 1.86 strikeout-to-walk ratio (693-to-372). Beside this, he was selected a three-time All-Star (1942-44). Tex Hughson died in San Marcos, Texas, at age of 77. He was enshrined in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in November 2002.
