Robert Frank Roth (August 28, 1892 – September 11, 1936), nicknamed Braggo, was an American professional baseball outfielder.

Roth's parents resided in Chicago, but vacationed in Burlington each summer at his mother's brother's house on the Fox River.

[1][2] Roth made his MLB debut with the Chicago White Sox of the American League, when they purchased him from the Blues in August 1914.

He was switched back to third base, but his playing time decreased in 1915 due to his poor defensive play and the acquisition of Eddie Murphy,[1] resulting in the White Sox trading Roth with a player to be named later (later decided to be Larry Chappell), Ed Klepfer and $31,500 to the Cleveland Indians for Shoeless Joe Jackson in August 1915.

With the Indians seeking pitching, they traded Roth to the Philadelphia Athletics for Larry Gardner, Charlie Jamieson and Elmer Myers before the 1919 season.

[1] Before the 1920 season, the Red Sox traded Roth and Shannon to the Washington Senators for Eddie Foster, Harry Harper, and Mike Menosky.
