"Germany" Smith (April 21, 1863 – December 1, 1927) was an American Major League Baseball player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[1] Smith made his major league debut for Altoona Mountain City of the Union Association in 1884.

The intentional misplays of his teammates caused club President Lynch to fine the guilty players $500 each‚ but he reluctantly agreed to release "Phenomenal" to ensure team harmony.

In 1891, John Montgomery Ward took over as manager and shortstop, effectively ending Smith's career with Brooklyn, so he left and joined the Cincinnati Reds.

[4] Smith returned to the Brooklyn in 1897, when the Reds and Grooms swapped shortstops, with Tommy Corcoran moving to Cincinnati.
