Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish (born December 1, 1925 in Anadarko, Oklahoma) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers (1944, 1946), Pittsburgh Pirates (1947-1948), Chicago Cubs (1949, 1951), Cleveland Indians (1956-1959), Cincinnati Reds (1960), Chicago White Sox (1961) and Philadelphia Phillies (1962-1964). He was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed.

In a 15-season career, McLish posted a 92-92 record with 713 strikeouts and a 4.00 ERA in 1609.0 innings pitched.

McLish was named for Calvin Coolidge, Julius Caesar, and Tuskahoma, Oklahoma. He has stated that the origin of his lengthy name is that his father was given permission to name the newborn, and he took full advantage of the opportunity.
