Gene Corbett

Eugene Louis Corbett (October 25, 1913 – January 28, 2009) was a first baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the Philadelphia Phillies between 1936 and 1938. Born in Winona, Minnesota, he batted left-handed and threw right-handed.

Corbett played with the Phillies in part of three seasons. In a 37-game career, he was a .120 hitter (13-for-108) with two home runs and 10 RBI, including 12 runs and three doubles. Following his majors career, he was traded for first baseman/outfielder Phil Weintraub and played for the Baltimore Orioles of the International League.

Corbett was the last living position player (non-pitcher) to have played at Baker Bowl, the Phillies home ballpark between May 2, 1895, and June 30, 1938, while a member of the Phillies.
