Aloysius Francis Naples (August 29, 1926 – February 26, 2021) was an American Major League Baseball shortstop who played for the St. Louis Browns in 1949.

[1] I ran like all get-out when I poked that double down the right field line for my first hit in the Big Show.

I felt rather good after that.Naples was born in Staten Island, New York and attended Georgetown University, where he majored in Latin,[2] from 1946 to 1949.

He signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Browns in 1949[2] and made his major league debut, starting against the Boston Red Sox on June 26, 1949.

That year, Naples hit .232 with no home runs in 56 games for Springfield,[4] who finished last[citation needed] and folded after the season.
