Ralph Hodgin from the Chronology

May 20, 1948 - At Chicago‚ Joe DiMaggio hits for the cycle and adds another homer to drive in six runs‚ as the Yanks coast‚ 13-2. DiMag almost has a 6th extra base hit‚ but left fielder Ralph Hodgin snares it at the wall. Johnny Lindell adds a homer to back Vic Raschi's pitching over Orval Grove‚ who lasts 5 innings. DiMaggio is the first Yankee in eight years to hit for the cycle. DiMag last cycled in 1937‚ when he also added a 2nd homer: He's the only player to do that twice..

Jul 19, 1946 - In a Boston-Chicago game‚ umpire Red Jones issues a warning to the Sox pitcher after a beanball is thrown at Ted Williams. Hearing razzing from the Sox dugout‚ Jones tosses the alleged perpetrator OF Ralph Hodgin and 3 others. When the jeering keeps up‚ 3 more Sox are tossed. The wisecracks continue and the incensed Jones clears the bench‚ ejecting a total of 14 White Sox in all‚ leaving only the starters. The White Sox lose the game as well‚ 9-2.
