Alphonse Eugene Smith (February 7, 1928 – January 3, 2002) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder and third baseman.

In 1955, he batted .306 and led the American League (AL) in four categories: 154 games played, 725 plate appearances, 294 times on base, and 123 runs scored.

Smith, nicknamed "Fuzzy" by his friends as a teenager when he was the first of them to sprout a beard, was born in Kirkwood, Missouri,[1] and attended Douglass High School in Webster Groves.

He is best remembered as the focal point of one of the most famous baseball photographs (see White Sox, below) An everyday player in 1954, Smith was a member of the Indians team that won a then-American League record 111 games.

He slumped in the 1958 season with the White Sox to the point that eccentric owner Bill Veeck would hold an "Al Smith Night" on August 26 of the following year to honor his outfielder.

To add insult to injury, in the seventh inning, with a runner on second for Boston, Smith made an error on a fly ball hit by Vic Wertz.

In Game 2 at Comiskey Park, Smith retreated to the left field wall in pursuit of a long drive hit by Charlie Neal of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Smith was sent to the Baltimore Orioles before the 1963 season with Luis Aparicio in the same transaction that brought Hoyt Wilhelm, Dave Nicholson, Pete Ward and Ron Hansen to the White Sox.
