Baseball-Reference.Com lists Harry Hedgpeth as attending Medical College of Virginia (Richmond, VA) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, NC). If he graduated UNC and was attending medical school in the off-season, at 25 years old he may have simply decided to pass up baseball for medicine.
