Bobby Hogue
Robert Clinton Hogue (April 5, 1921 – December 22, 1987) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed relief pitcher who appeared in 172 Major League games from 1948-1952 for the Boston Braves, St. Louis Browns and New York Yankees. The native of Miami, Florida, stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and was listed at 190 pounds (86 kg) during his pitching career. He was a United States Navy veteran of World War II.
In his rookie MLB season with the 1948 Braves, Hogue appeared in 40 games and compiled an 8–2 record, an earned run average of 3.23 and two saves to help Boston win its last National League pennant. In his only starting assignment, on July 8 against the Brooklyn Dodgers, he pitched ineffectively and lasted only two innings, but the Braves came back to win the contest, 7–4. He did not appear in the 1948 World Series. During his tenure with the Braves, Hogue learned to throw the knuckleball, which became an effective pitch in his repertoire.
Three seasons later, Hogue bounced from the Braves to the second division St. Louis Browns of the American League to the powerhouse Yankees' Triple-A Kansas City Blues into mid-August. But on August 20, 1951, the Yankees recalled Hogue and another player from the Blues for the stretch run, and each contributed to New York's third straight AL pennant. (The other player was a 19-year-old rookie centerfielder named Mickey Mantle.) During the rest of the American League season, Hogue appeared in seven games in relief for the Yanks, allowing four hits and no runs in 71⁄3 innings pitched and winning his only decision. In the 1951 World Series, Hogue appeared in two games (both Yankee losses) in relief, but only allowed one hit, a single to former teammate Eddie Stanky in Game 3, and did not allow any inherited baserunners to score. Those two games were the only games lost by the Yankees in a six-game triumph over their NL neighbors, the New York Giants.

Santa Hooked Me Up
by: B2kThis year your boy went all out
Let me sit down and tell you what I'm talkin' about
Now what's somthin' you can imagine
So I don't have to explain
Oh, just picture the North Pole
Relaxin' in my chain and my girl
She's bad, so bad, whoa
Havin' a girl like Boog's gonna become the new fad
When you're walkin' to my house
You're gonna be given a map
'Cuz if you turn the wrong corner
You won't find your way back
But I'm sleepy now
So, I'm gone off the track
Bye, goodnight, holla
Santa hooked me up this year

Santa hooked me up with a Bentley 4 door
Now a 100 million dolla G4
Santa was generous
Gave me a gang of money
More ice than the North Pole
More karats than Bugs Bunny
This year forget the socks
And the Christmas tree
I got a Benz 1200
Ain't even hit the streets
I got a 3-way pager and a matching set
Got an iced out chain that put a crick in my neck
Santa hooked me up this year

This year my gift was too sick
Santa Claus got me that 6
With that doubled out kit
Too clean, fresh white, gangsta lean
You know how I do, when Inn get on the scene
Santa Claus, "SC" is what I call his name
He give me too much I think Santa got crazy
But anyways, thank you for all the gifts
I left them hot cookies, but just forget it
Santa hooked me up this year
Santa hooked me up this year

So let me tell you what I got for Christmas this year
Santa hooked me up this year
Santa hooked me up this year

So let me tell you what I got for Christmas this year
Now Christmas is my favorite time of year
I got red forces with red Polo gear
Red Chanel ski hat, plus a Cadillac
With diamond in the back
Sittin' on the scene with shiny gold D's
Oh, ice crush soda can
Chrome on the left hand
And a walkman, you got a walkman
When I got all this
Man I thought it was great
But I was bad this year
So Santa made a mistake
Santa hooked me up this year
Santa hooked me up this year
Santa hooked me up this year
So let me tell you what I got for Christmas this year
