Hugh Bradley (May 23, 1885 – January 26, 1949), born in Grafton, Massachusetts, played first base in Major League Baseball from 1910 to 1915. On April 26, 1912, he hit the first ever home run at Fenway Park.^[1] As a backup first baseman for the 1912 World Series champion Boston Red Sox, Bradley got off to a hot start to the season and had a chance to supplant manager Jake Stahl as the regular at the position, but his hitting fell off dramatically as the season went on.^[2] Bradley died on January 26, 1949, in Worcester, Massachusetts.
