Horace Arthur Speed III (born October 4, 1951) is a retired Major League Baseball outfielder who played three seasons for the San Francisco Giants and the Cleveland Indians.[1]
Speed was selected by the Giants in the 3rd round of the 1969 MLB Draft.[1] He made his major league debut with San Francisco as a pinch runner for catcher Dave Rader in 1975, as the Giants defeated the San Diego Padres, 2–0.[2] He then signed as a free agent with the Indians on December 7, 1977, and had his most productive major league season with the team in 1978, appearing in 70 games.[1]
