August John Galan (May 23, 1912 – December 28, 1993) was an American professional baseball outfielder, manager and coach.
He played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from to for the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics.
Galan threw right-handed and began his career as a switch hitter, however, starting in the latter part of, he became strictly a left-handed hitter until the end of his career.
He was listed as 6 ft tall and 175 lb.
Galan was born in Berkeley, California, one of eight children.
Galan started in the Texas League and graduated to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League in 1932.
In 1933 he was PCL Most Valuable Player, and in 1934 was purchased by the Cubs.
In a 16-season big-league career, Galan posted a .287 batting average with 1,706 hits, 100 home runs and 830 runs batted in in 1,742 games played.
He twice led the National League in stolen bases, with 22 thefts in and 23 in.
He also led the NL in runs scored (133 in ) and bases on balls (103 in and 101 in ), and four times exceeded .800 in on-base plus slugging, each time finishing in the NL's top ten in that category.
He also played in three World Series (1935 and 1938 with the Cubs, and 1941 with the Dodgers), but his teams never won.
Galan collected four fall classic hits in 29 total at bats (.138).
He reached the .300 plateau in hitting six times.
In 1935, he became the first full-time player to make 649 plate appearances and not hit into a double play, though he hit into one triple play.
That year, he led the National League with 133 runs scored.
Galan was selected to three National League All-Star teams and homered off Schoolboy Rowe in the 1936 game to help power the NL to a 4–3 victory.
In 1937, Galan was the first National Leaguer to hit home runs from both sides of the plate in a game.
Often injured (he broke his knee in 1940), Galan had a deformed arm from a childhood injury.
The knee injury eventually forced him to give up batting from the right side of the plate.
After leaving the major leagues in 1949, Galan returned to the San Francisco Bay Area and played two more seasons with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League, then managed the club to a 77–103 record (seventh place) in 1953.
He joined the Philadelphia Athletics' coaching staff in, their last year in that city, and went on to spend 17 years as a minor league coach and manager in the Athletics' organization.

He was survived by his wife of 40 years, Shirley, and four children.
His parents had emigrated from France in the late 19th century, and his father operated a French hand laundry on Berkeley’s University Avenue.
