Troy Pipkin Agnew (August 8, 1890 – November 23, 1971) was an American Minor League Baseball catcher and manager. His brother was Sam Agnew.
Agnew began his playing career in 1914. He did not play in 1916, 1917 or 1918, and in his first year back in 1919 he hit only .144 in 222 at-bats. In ten minor league seasons, he hit above .250 only twice, in 1922 and 1924. He did not play in 1926, and 1927 was his final season.[1] In May 1922, he bought his release from Augusta, with whom he had been playing, and headed to Okmulgee for his first managerial assignment.[2]
