Statistics
Another interesting footnote about Hearn is that he hit two inside-the-park home runs, including one in a game on July 9, 1955 in which he also hit a traditional fence-clearing homer. Hearn's feat is notable in that there have been only a total of eight inside-the-park home runs hit by pitchers since 1954.
Overall, Hearn appeared in 396 games, winning 109, losing 89, with an ERA of 3.81. He was an excellent golfer and opened a golf school after his baseball career ended. He died at age 77 in Boca Grande, Florida.
