Herb Hippauf
Pitcher, Baseball Player
1939 – 1995
Who was Herb Hippauf?
Herbert August Hippauf was an American professional baseball player and scout. A native of New York City, Hippauf the player was a left-handed pitcher who stood 6 feet tall and weighed 180 pounds. His seven-year pro career was highlighted by a brief, three-game trial with the 1966 Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball.
Hippauf spent his entire playing career in the Braves' organization, signing with them while they were still based in Milwaukee but not making the varsity until their first year in Atlanta in 1966. During that season, he appeared in relief for the Braves in three early season games. In his MLB debut on April 27, Hippauf relieved starting pitcher Hank Fischer in the third inning of a scoreless game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. He got through the third inning unscathed, but in the fourth, Hippauf surrendered four hits and three earned runs and was charged with his only Major League decision, a loss, as the Dodgers won 4–1. He relieved in two more games in early May before being sent to the Triple-A Richmond Braves, where he played the rest of the season, his last in pro ball.
