Marty Hogan

Marty Hogan is a former American racquetball player, born on January 22, 1958, in St. Louis, Missouri, who won more than 100 international or national titles, including six U.S. national championships, during a 14 year career. He was ranked first or second in the world from 1976 to 1990 and became the first millionaire in the history of racquetball. Hogan is credited with revolutionizing the game with a serve that drove the ball as fast as 142 miles per hour. He turned professional in 1975, won the U.S. indoor professional national championship five times in a row from 1978 to 1982 and again in 1986, and in 1979 became the only player to win the pro, outdoor and paddleball nationals in one year. He retired in 1990, returned briefly, and won his last professional title in 1991.
