Frank James Malzone (February 28, 1930 – December 29, 2015) was an American Major League Baseball third baseman who played for the Boston Red Sox (1955–65) and California Angels (1966).

[1][3] Malzone spent 11 seasons with Boston and is among the all-time Red Sox leaders in several categories.

[5] Malzone made his Boston debut in September 1955, playing in six games for the Red Sox that year.

[8] In 1957, in his first full season with the Red Sox, he became the starting third baseman,[1] and hit .292 and had a career-high 103 RBI.

[13] In 1959's second All-Star Game, Malzone hit a home run against future hall of fame pitcher Don Drysdale.

[1][4] He was the last American League third baseman to win a Gold Glove prior to Brooks Robinson's 16-year run at third base.

[14][1] The Red Sox released Malzone after the 1965 season, but informed him he would have a place with the team once he retired.

He was an advance scout, following other teams the Red Sox played in the 1967 pennant race and World Series and providing reports on these opponents.

He remained on the Red Sox payroll as a "player development consultant" for many years after his retirement from scouting.
