Alexis William Kampouris (November 13, 1912 – May 29, 1993) was an American professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues primarily as a second baseman from 1934 to 1939 and 1941 to 1943.
Kampouris is considered the first ever Major League player of Greek descent.[1]
On May 9, 1937, Kampouris hit three home runs in one game for the Reds against the Philadelphia Phillies.[1]
On August 13, 1937, Kampouris was honored at Wrigley Field by the Chicago Hellenic Society as a visiting member of the Reds. He was given a car and praised before the game, only to commit three errors in one inning against the Cubs that day.[citation needed]
