Al Cihocki

Albert Joseph Cihocki (May 7, 1924 – March 27, 2014) was an American Major League Baseball infielder who played for one season.

Early in 1945, he received a medical discharge from the Coast Guard, and resumed his professional baseball career with the Cleveland Indians organization.

Due to a lack of players available as a result of the war, Cihocki made the major league squad and remained there throughout the season.

[4] The Orioles released Cihocki after the 1952 season, and he continued to play on and off until 1958, where he spent his final year in professional baseball with the Allentown Red Sox.
