December 9, 1930- Bob (Hurricane) Hazle is born in Laurens SC. Until Hugo came along in 1989, Hurricane Hazel (1954) was the strongest storm ever to strike the South Carolina coast. Thus it is fitting that a man from the Palmetto State should be the mighty storm’s namesake: right fielder Bob Hazle, who hit the National League with a bang late in the 1957 season. He had a big year in 1957 for the Braves, batting .403 over a span of 134 at-bats.
