Nathaniel Beverly Smith (April 26, 1935 – August 18, 2019) was an American professional baseball player, a catcher whose career was confined to minor league baseball except for a five-game Major League stint with the Baltimore Orioles at the end of the season. He threw and batted right-handed, stood 5feet tall and weighed .
Born in Chicago, Smith attended Tennessee State University. His professional career (1956–59; 1961–64) was spent in the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers' organization until the Orioles purchased his contract from the Triple-A Omaha Dodgers in September 1962. In his first MLB at bat, Smith pinch hit for Oriole pitcher Wes Stock and singled off left-hander Ted Bowsfield of the Los Angeles Angels.[1] He would collect one more hit, a double off another lefty, Jack Kralick of the Minnesota Twins, in his last MLB game.[1]
