Q: This catcher spent thirteen seasons with the New York Giants, Boston Braves (twice), and the Washington Senators. He was part of a vaudeville act, telling jokes and singing parodies with Andy Cohen (Baseball Trivia #36), a teammate from the Giants. After the 1928 season they started performing on the Loew Circuit with their first appearance on stage at the Loew's Commodore Theatre in Manhattan. The duo earned $1,800 a week, billed as "Cohen and Xxxxx", except in Boston, when the billings were reversed. In a 1960 interview, Cohen reminisced that "if we didn't kill vaudeville, we sure helped."
Who was he?
A: James "Shanty" Hogan
