Edward E. Haigh (February 7, 1867 – February 13, 1953) was a 19th-century Major League Baseball outfielder. He played for the St. Louis Browns of the National League in 1892.
Haigh made his big league debut on August 14, 1892.[1] Louisville's Courier Journal reported that Haigh "accidentally made a hit and it was a regular comedy to see him on the bases ... It is doubtful if Haigh could steal a base if he was alone in a ten-acre field."[2] His release was reported in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat on August 16: "Capt. Gore and Mr. Von der Ahe do not consider him a good enough player for the big League."[3]
