BIO: Henry John Sauer (The Honker) was born in Pittsburgh, PA and died in 2001 in Burlingame, CA. He played major league baseball from 1941 to 1959 as outfielder for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants, and was selected in 1950 and 1952 as an All-Star. He was the brother of Ed Sauer. During a time when the Cubs were especially moribund, Sauer provided some joy for Cubs fans with his power-hitting. He was well-known for using smokeless tobacco, and it has often been reported that after he hit a home run, when he returned to his left field position, bleacher fans might shower him with packets of his favorite chew.
