Biography

American baseball outfielder, nicknamed "Bucketfoot Al", who played for two decades in Major League Baseball (MLB). He had his best years with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics during the late 1920s and early 1930s, winning two World Series with Philadelphia.

Simmons played for the Philadelphia Athletics (1924–1932, 1940-1941, 1944), Chicago White Sox (1933–1935), Detroit Tigers (1936), Washington Senators (1937–1938), Boston Braves (1939), Cincinnati Reds (1939) and Boston Red Sox (1943).
