Herbert "Herb" Howard Hash (February 13, 1911 – May 20, 2008) was a right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher from 1940 to 1941 for the Boston Red Sox. He was born in Woolwine, Virginia. Subsequently he attended the University of Richmond and is a member of the University's Hall of Fame. He was signed by the Red Sox, debuting on April 19, 1940. He stood 6'1" and weighed 180 pounds during his rookie season. Herb was used extensively during the 1940 season, making his first start on May 26, 1940 at Fenway Park. He was knocked out of the game in the sixth inning but came back four days later to pitch the first complete game of his career at Yankee Stadium before a capacity crowd of 82,437. It was customary to play doubleheaders in this era on Memorial Day and he started the second game of the twin-bill. He scattered six hits in an 11-4 victory. He pitched his first career shutout on June 23 at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland as the Red Sox won 2-0. The 1941 season proved to be his last stint in the major leagues, with his final appearance occurring on April 30, 1941. After the 1941 season he continued to pitch in the minors.
