Gene Freese
Dossier
Gene Freese (January 8, 1934 – June 18, 2013) was a right-handed third baseman from Wheeling, West Virginia who played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball between 1955 and 1966. A journeyman by reputation, Freese appeared in 1,115 games for seven organizations — the Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Houston Astros — finishing with a .254 batting average, 115 home runs, and 432 RBI. His career peaked before the 1962 season, when a broken ankle curtailed his momentum. Teammates dubbed him "Augie" as a Pirates rookie, after umpire Augie Donatelli.
