Odell Hale

Odell Hale (August 10, 1908 – June 9, 1980) was a Major League Baseball infielder in the 1930s and early 1940s, primarily for the Cleveland Indians. Though he was born Arvel Odell Hale, baseball encyclopedias listed him simply as Odell Hale, which stuck with him as well as the nickname "Bad News".^[1] He had a good career, with many seasons hitting a batting average over .300. He finished his career with a .289 batting average. He is often referred as being one of Cleveland's best second basemen of all-time.^{[citation needed]}
