Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography Edgar Smith (December 14, 1913 – January 2, 1994) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Philadelphia Athletics (1936–1939), Chicago White Sox (1939–1943, 1946–1947) and Boston Red Sox (1947). Smith was a switch-hitter and threw left-handed. He was born in Mansfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey.
In a 10-season career, Smith posted a 73–113 record with 694 strikeouts and a 3.82 ERA in 1,595Шаблон:Frac innings pitched.
Joe DiMaggio started his 56-game hitting streak on May 15, 1941 by getting one hit in four at bats against Smith.[1] Later that year, Smith was selected to represent the White Sox on the American League's All-Star team. He entered 1941 Major League Baseball All-Star Game on July 8 at Briggs Stadium as a relief pitcher in the eighth inning and allowed a two-run home run to left-handed-hitting shortstop Arky Vaughan, putting the AL at a 5–3 disadvantage. But he set down the National League squad in order in the ninth, and came away with the victory when Ted Williams hit a three-run, walk-off home run in the ninth, capping the Junior Circuit's rally.[2]
Smith died in Willingboro Township, New Jersey, at the age of 80.
