Howard Edward Storie (May 15, 1911 – July 27, 1968) was a professional baseball catcher. He was a reserve player for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1931 and 1932. Listed at 5feet and 175lb, he batted and threw right-handed.
Storie, nicknamed "Sponge",[1] had a minor league career spanning 1931 to 1935; he played in a total of 131 minor league games for several different teams in the Eastern United States.[2] Storie's major league career consisted of 12 games with the Boston Red Sox; six in 1931 and another six in 1932.[3] He went 5-for-25 for a .200 batting average, with two runs scored and no RBIs.[3] Two of his major league hits came against Hall of Fame pitcher Herb Pennock on April 16, 1932. Entering a game against the New York Yankees defensively in the fifth inning, Storie singled off of Pennock in the seventh inning and again in the ninth.[4]
After his baseball career, Storie operated a restaurant in Lenox, Massachusetts; he died in 1968, aged 57, in his hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts.[5]
