Hubbard Edwin Northen (August 16, 1886 – October 1, 1947) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball who played from 1910 through 1912 for the St. Louis Browns, Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers.[1]

Besides, Northen played at Minor League level in all or parts of 16 seasons spanning 1907–1924.[2]

Northeen was the Dodgers regular center fielder in the 1912 season before being replaced with Casey Stengel when Northen became ill.[3]

In 164 major league games over three seasons, Northern posted a .272 batting average (159-for-584) with 76 runs, 3 home runs and 63 RBIs. He finished his career with a .939 fielding percentage playing at all three outfield positions.

After his retirement as an active player, Northen worked as a scout for various baseball teams, including the Chicago White Sox[4] and the Shreveport Sports of the Texas League.[5]
