Harry Elwood "Moose" McCormick (February 28, 1881 - July 9, 1962), was a professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of five seasons in Major League Baseball between 1904 and 1913 for the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Philadelphia Phillies. Under manager John McGraw of the Giants, he was one of the first pinch hitters in the game's history.

In high school, McCormick excelled in both baseball and football. He got his nickname from classmates because of his large size.^[1]

McCormick is most famous for scoring the potential winning run in the infamous 1908 Merkle game. The run was eventually nullified, the game ended in a tie, and the Giants lost the pennant by a single game.
