Albert James "Albie" Booth (February 1, 1908 – March 1, 1959) was an American football player.
Booth, at only 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) tall and 144 pounds (65 kg), was known as "Little Boy Blue"[1] and the "Mighty Atom",[2][3] and sportswriters compared him to the fictional Yale sports hero Frank Merriwell.
[4] A New Haven, Connecticut, native, he attended Hillhouse High School[1] (as well as Milford Academy[5]) before coming to Yale, where he was a hometown favorite.
[6] In the single wing offense of Yale coach Mal Stevens, Booth played the tailback position and was also the team's kicker.
After recovering from pleurisy, in spring 1932, he hit a two-out grand slam home run to beat the Harvard baseball team 4–3.
