James Franklin Hitchcock Jr. (June 28, 1911 – July 23, 1959) was an American football player and Major League baseball player in the Depression Era. Hitchcock attended college at Auburn University (then Alabama Polytechnic Institute), where he was the school's first All-American in both football and baseball. Outside of sports, Hitchcock served in the United States Navy in World War II. He later parlayed his popularity in Alabama into a political position on the Alabama Public Service Commission, for which he served until his death in 1959.
