Emil Ogden Yde (January 28, 1900 – December 4, 1968) was an American left-handed professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of four seasons in Major League Baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1924–27) and Detroit Tigers in 1929. As a rookie in 1924, Yde led the National League in shutouts with four and in winning percentage (.842) with a Win–loss record of 16–3.
In 1925, Yde became the first pitcher ever to allow back-to-back home runs in a World Series when Goose Goslin and Joe Harris hit consecutive homers in the third inning of the fourth game of the series.[1]
He also was a good hitting pitcher in his brief major league career, posting a .233 batting average (74-for-317) with 46 runs, 1 home run and 28 RBI.
Yde was of Danish descent.[2] His father worked at Naval Station Great Lakes and later as a superintendent at a coal yard. Yde attended both the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.[3] He served in the United States Navy during World War I.[4]
He moved to Leesburg, Florida during his playing career and eventually became a real estate dealer there.[4] In 1944, he ran for sheriff of Lake County, Florida but lost in the Democratic Party primary to Willis V. McCall.[5]
