Hershel Ray Martin (September 19, 1909 – November 17, 1980) was an American professional baseball player and scout. An outfielder born in Birmingham, Alabama, and raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Martin played for 23 seasons, mostly in minor league baseball, although he did appear in 607 Major League games in 1937–1940 and 1944–1945 for the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees. After retiring from the field, Martin scouted for the Phillies (1955–1956), Chicago Cubs (1958) and New York Mets (1961–1979). Hershel Martin was former MLB commissioner Bud Selig's favorite player as a youngster.
