George John Maisel (March 12, 1892 – December 20, 1968) was an American Major League Baseball center fielder with the St. Louis Browns, Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs between 1913 and 1922.

[1] Maisel spent the 1914 and 1915 seasons playing for the Scranton Miners of the New York State League.

At the start of the 1916 season, Baseball Magazine wrote: "Maisel won universal praise for his speed, but his normal hitting gait is not strong enough at the present time to beat out such a clever performer as Oscar Vitt.

[2] In October 1916, the Tigers sold Maisel to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League.

[2] At the end of the 1920 season, a dispute arose as to whether the San Francisco or Portland club held the rights to Maisel.

He was the Cubs' starting center fielder and compiled the fourth best fielding percentage (.978) among all National League outfielders.
