Philip Julius Todt (August 9, 1901 – November 15, 1973), nicknamed "Hook", was an American professional baseball first baseman who played in Major League Baseball between the 1924 and 1931 seasons. Listed at 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m), 175 lb., Todt batted and threw left-handed. He was born in Saint Louis, Missouri. A fine defensive first baseman and consistent line drive hitter, Todt entered the majors in 1924 with the Boston Red Sox, hitting .262 in 52 games as a backup for Joe Harris. Since 1925, Todt provided a solid defensive effort for a Red Sox club that finished last in the American League for six straight seasons. He was considered in the American League MVP vote for three consecutive years (1925–1927), and led the AL first basemen in fielding percentage (.997) in 1928. His most productive season came in 1925, when he hit .278 with 62 runs and 75 RBI, all career-numbers. In 1930, Todt broke Babe Ruth's team record of 49 career home runs. Todt's record stood until 1937, when Jimmie Foxx broke it in only his second season with the club; the record subsequently passed from Foxx to Ted Williams who still holds it. Todt also appeared in 62 games with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1931
