Paul Schaal (March 3, 1943 – September 1, 2017) was an American professional baseball player who played 11 seasons for the Los Angeles / California Angels and Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball.

Most experts feel Schaal would have won multiple gold glove awards had it not been for Brooks Robinson.

In 1968 at Fenway Park in Boston, Schaal was badly beaned by José Santiago of the Red Sox on June 13;[2] he spent twelve days in the hospital and had balance problems after his discharge.

After his subpar seasons in 1967 and 1968, the Angels left Schaal unprotected and he was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the expansion draft in October 1968.

With future Hall of Famer George Brett ready to take over third base duties for Kansas City, the Royals traded Schaal back to the Angels for outfielder Richie Scheinblum.
