Arnold George "Peewee" Hauser (September 25, 1888 – May 22, 1966) was a German American shortstop in Major League Baseball.
Hauser, after starting for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1911 and 1912, was befallen with a series of personal tragedies when in short succession his father and mother died, two children were burned to death in a fire, and his wife died.[1] The tragedies, which took place over the course of just a few weeks, pushed Hauser to the edge of mental breakdown and essentially wrecked Hauser's career.[1]
After being out of baseball for most of 1913 and all of the 1914 season, Hauser unsuccessfully attempted to come back with the Cardinals in 1915.[1] Failing to land with the Cardinals, Hauser played 23 games for the Chicago Whales of the Federal League, ending his career on September 29, 1915.[2]
Hauser was called a "quiet, gentlemanly little chap" and was regarded as a promising talent.[1] During his interrupted 1913 season, Hauser hit a career-best .289 in 22 games played.[2]
