Al Naples

Aloysius Francis Naples (August 29, 1926 – February 26, 2021) was an American Major League Baseball shortstop who played for the St. Louis Browns in 1949. He is one of about 200 players in major league history to be credited with exactly one base hit. I ran like all get-out when I poked that double down the right field line for my first hit in the Big Show. I felt rather good after that. — Al Naples, One Hit Wonders: Baseball Stories (George Rose) Naples died on February 26, 2021 at the age of 94.
