John Marshall Smith (September 27, 1906 – May 9, 1982) was a utility player in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Boston Red Sox during the 1931 season. Listed at 6'1", 180 lb., Smith was a switch-hitter and threw right-handed. He was born in Washington, D.C., and went to Eastern High School.[1]
Smith appeared in four career games with Boston basically as a backup for first baseman Bill Sweeney. He posted a .133 batting average (2-for-15) with two runs and one RBI without extra bases. At first base, he collected 46 outs and did not commit an error for a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.
Smith died at the age of 75 in Silver Spring, Maryland.
