Fred Francis Marsh (January 5, 1924 – October 26, 2006)[1] was an American infielder in Major League Baseball who played in 1949 and from 1951 to 1956 for the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns, Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, primarily as a third baseman.
Marsh made his big league debut on April 19, 1949, at the age of 25 for the Indians, who acquired him from the Cubs' system before the 1947 season.
He started the year with the Browns, but on May 12 was traded with Lou Sleater to the Washington Senators for Cass Michaels.
Marsh's second turn with the Browns that year proved to be much more successful – in 76 games, he hit .287 with two home runs and 26 RBI.
The trade reunited Marsh with manager Paul Richards, his skipper in Chicago during the previous two seasons.
In 1955, Marsh played in 89 games for Baltimore, collecting 66 hits in 303 at-bats for a .218 average, although he drew 35 bases on balls.
