Roy Lund "Red" Ostergard (May 16, 1896 – January 13, 1977) was a pinch hitter in Major League Baseball. He was born in Denmark, Wisconsin, and attended college at Southwestern University.[1]
In 1921, Ostergard made his major league debut with the Chicago White Sox. He was inserted as a pinch hitter 11 times that summer, hit 4 singles, and scored 2 runs. That was the only time he ever appeared in the majors.[1]
Ostergard then played in the Texas League from 1923 to 1925. He put up good hitting numbers there, batting over .320 all three seasons and hitting a total of 59 home runs. He then spent one year in the Southern Association and one year in the South Atlantic League.[2]
