Acquired by the Montreal club from the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association in the 1941-42 off-season, Oakland's Joe Hatten pitched for the Royals briefly in 1942 before entering the Navy. Upon his discharge four years later, he first saw service with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Possessing a "rubber arm", Hatten worked as both a starting pitcher and a reliever, often appearing in both ends of a double-header. Hatten started in pro ball with Crookston in the old Northern League in 1937. The left handed Hatten pitched for the Dodgers from 1946 through 1951, finishing his career with the Chicago Cubs in 1952. His career record was 65-49 with a 3.88 earned run average.
