[edit] Biography

Germany Smith (George J. Smith) was born on April 21, 1863 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He made his Major League debut on April 17, 1884 for the Cleveland Spiders. In 1884, his rookie year, he hit .271 with 4 home runs and 26 RBI. Smith played for the Cleveland Spiders, Altoona Mountain Citys, Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Perfectos over the course of his 15 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Germany Smith's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1895, when he hit for a .300 average and knocked in 74 runs. However, others believe that it was 1887, when he stole 26 bases, hit for a .294 average and knocked in 72 runs.
