George Hemming (December 15, 1868 – June 3, 1930), also known as Old Wax Figger, was a pitcher in Major League baseball in the late-19th century. His first season was with the Cleveland Infants, most likely because his hometown, Carrollton was nearby. However, his career soon left Cleveland and went to teams such as the Brooklyn Grooms, Cincinnati Reds, Louisville Colonels, and Baltimore Orioles. His best performance was with the 1895 Baltimore Orioles, when he posted his career high in wins (20) and E.R.A. (4.05)
