  Spitting on Diamonds by Clyde Hogg
Hogg played during a time known as the dead ball era, when a pitcher could spit on, shine up, or even roughen a ball to secure an advantage over a hitter.
The author shows how Hogg's career is representative of the thousands of men who have played professional baseball since its inception more than 125 years ago, men who didn't make it into the Hall of Fame or win awards but made it possible for millions of fans to enjoy the game.
After baseball, Brad Hogg became a successful lawyer in Americus, Georgia, but ran into an unconquerable obstacle in 1932 when he drank water from a common dipper at the town well in Americus, contracting tuberculosis which killed him in 1935.

 Brad Hogg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Bradley Hogg (born February 6, 1971 in Narrogin, Western Australia), known as Brad Hogg, is an Australian cricketer.
Hogg was also in and out of the Western Australian squad for the next few years as he struggled to come to terms with unsympathetic pitches and poor returns with the ball.
Hogg was absent from the international scene until called up to replace Warne during the 2002/2003 VB Series (an annual tri-nations one day tournament in Australia) after Warne injured his shoulder.

Muralitharan spanked Brad Hogg for successive sixes in one over of the 2nd VB final, both of them reasonable cricket shots, albeit straight down Daisy’s arse at Cow Corner.

Hogg was out of line, poor old Murali went for 99 in his ten wicketless overs then gets verbally abused for slogging a couple of shots out to the barnyard.
