Al Smith Was First and Foremost a Ballplayer Whose Major-League Career Spanned 12 Seasons with Four American League Teams
Smith was quiet man who made his noise on field By Gary Livacari Al Smith was first and foremost a ballplayer whose major-league career spanned 12 seasons with four American League teams. Primarily an outfielder, he played six positions as a major leaguer and was a fine defender with a strong arm and good speed. Smith finished with a .272 life-time batting average, hit 164 home runs, and reached base nearly 36 percent of the time. He also made two A.L. All- Star teams and played for two pennant winners (both managed by Al Lopez). He hit a career-best .315 in 1960 and posted his biggest power numbers—28 homers and 93 RBIs—in 1961. But despite his considerable on-field accomplishments, he will always be best remembered as the unwitting subject in one of baseball‘s most lasting images: the “beer bath” photo from Game Two of the 1959 World Series. When Smith died in 2002, his obituary in the New York Times was headlined, “Al Smith, 73, Dies; Was Doused in Series.” Alphonse Eugene Smith was born on February 7, 1928, in Kirkwood, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb. He grew up a fan of both local big-league teams, the Cardinals and the Browns, and his hero was Cardinals outfielder Joe Medwick. Nicknamed “Fuzzy,” Smith was a versatile, multitalented athlete at Douglas High in Webster Groves, Missouri. The MVP of the baseball team, he also starred in football, basketball, and track, and was a Golden Gloves boxing champion in the 160-pound division. Smith scored 33 touchdowns in one football season and was reputed to have scored 10 touchdowns in one game. -

Bobby Del Greco
Bobby Del Greco, “Pittsburgh Born & Bred” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com An excellent fielding outfielder who plays 17 seasons in profes- sional baseball, Robert George “Bobby” Del Greco is one of the first players from the highly-touted Pittsburgh Pirates farm sys- tem of the early 1950’s to make it to the major leagues. A native of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Del Greco plays nine major league seasons with six different teams – Pittsburgh Pirates (1952, 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957-1958), Philadelphia Phillies (1960-61, 1965) and the Kansas City Athletics (1962-1963). Prior to the start of the 1950 season, Pittsburgh Hall of Famer and scout Pie Traynor finds the 17-year-old Del Greco on the sandlots of Pittsburgh and signs him for $500. Less than two years later, Del Greco will start in center field for his hometown Pirates before he turns 19 years old. As a 19-year-old rookie and the National League’s third-youngest player that season, Del Greco makes his major league debut on April 16, 1942, going 3-for-4 with a triple in a 6-to-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Two days later, he again goes 3-for-4 with another triple in his first-ever game at the Pirates’ Forbes Field. On June 9, 1952, Del Greco hits his first major league home run off of Milwaukee starter Jim Wilson in the sixth inning of a 3-to-2 loss to the Braves and becomes one of only 88 players, from 1900 to 2000, to hit a home run in the major leagues prior to his 20th birthday. -
1957 Retrospective
THE PLAIN DEALER . SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1999 5-D OURCENTURY 1957 ATA GLANCE Score taken down Sinking the subway by Yankee’s line drive Bob Feller was gone, having retired after the 1956 season. But the Indians had the new Bob Feller in 23-year-old left-handed firebal- ler Herb Score. Until the night of May 7. Before 18,000 horrified fans, a line drive from the bat of Yankee third baseman Gil McDougald struck Score squarely in the right eye. Blood gushed from his eye and his ears and he was carried from the field on a stretcher. To the relief of fans and especially McDougald, he did not lose the eye, but his season was finished. Al Lopez had left to manage the Chicago White Sox. Al Rosen had retired. Both were tired of feuding with Indians Vice President Hank Greenberg. But the Indians had one of the best outfields in the league, with young sluggers Rocky Colavito and Roger Maris and old Yankee Gene Woodling. Colavito hit 26 home runs and Woodling batted .321, but the pitching fell apart. Early Wynn and Bob Lemon had losing seasons, although relievers Don Mossi and Ray Narleski, pressed into starting service, each won 11. The new man- ager, Kerby Farrell, appeared lost. The Indians had their first losing season since 1946, finishing sixth. At the end of the season, Greenberg fired Farrell. Then the In- dians’ directors fired Greenberg. They hired Frank “Trader” Lane, who quickly lived up to his nickname. • The Browns had had their first-ever losing season in 1956. -
