Al Reiss

Al Reiss, born in 1909, was a professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues during the early 1930s. His career spanned from June 22, 1932, to August 13, 1932, during a transitional period in baseball, marked by the tail end of the deadball era and the beginnings of a more offensive-minded approach to the game. Reiss took the field primarily as a position player and had a brief stint in the majors, appearing in a total of 9 games. In those 9 games, Reiss recorded 1 hit, resulting in a batting average of 0.2, along with 1 run batted in (RBI) and no home runs or stolen bases. While his numbers may not reflect a long or particularly impactful career, Reiss was part of a unique period in baseball history that saw the sport evolving in response to changing dynamics both on and off the field. His time in the league, albeit short, places him among the ranks of those who contributed to the rich tapestry of baseball's past.
