Biography
American baseball first baseman, nicknamed "Unser Choe," who played in the major leagues with the Philadelphia Athletics (1922–1924, 1926, 1928) and Cleveland Indians (1929). Hauser's major league career was undistinguished, but he made a name for himself in the minor leagues, where he became the first player ever to hit 60 or more home runs twice in a professional career: 63 in 1930, and 69 in 1933. He died on 11 July 1997 at age 98 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He remained the only player to hit 60 or more twice until Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa accomplished the feat in 1998 and 1999.
