David Dale Alexander (April 26, 1903 – March 2, 1979), nicknamed "Moose," was a Major League Baseball player for the Detroit Tigers (1929–1932) and Boston Red Sox (1932–1933). Dale "Moose" Alexander was a 6 foot, 3 inch, 210 lb. first baseman. One of the American League's better hitters during his first four seasons, Alexander led the league in hits in 1929 and won a batting title in 1932, but a lack of defensive capability coupled with a leg injury ultimately cut short his Major League career.

Famous quotes containing the words dale and/or alexander:

    I am a working woman. I take care of a home. I hold down a job. I am nuts.
    —Barbara Dale (b. 1940)

    I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
