Born in 1927, he made his Major League Baseball debut on May 2, 1945, and concluded his brief career on September 29, 1946. Though Hasenmayer's time in the big leagues was short, participating in only 11 games, he was part of an era that bridged the end of World War II and the emergence of baseball's post-war growth. During his time in the majors, Hasenmayer recorded 3 hits in 30 at-bats, leading to a batting average of .100. He contributed 1 run batted in but did not hit any home runs, and he did not register any stolen bases during his career. While his statistical contributions may appear modest, Hasenmayer's participation in the game during a transformative period in baseball history reflects the challenges and changes of the sport in the post-war years. His legacy, though not defined by prolific numbers, is a reminder of the many players who contributed to the fabric of baseball during transitional times.
