Albert C. Baschang, sometimes written as "Al Bashang" (August 22, 1888 - June 23, 1967) was a Major League Baseball player who played 6 games for the Detroit Tigers in July 1912 and 2 games for the Brooklyn Robins in 1918. In Detroit, he played 5 of his 6 games in left field, accompanied by Hall of Famers Ty Cobb in center field and Sam Crawford in right field. He had a perfect fielding percentage for the Tigers, but his batting average of .083 was not good enough to remain in the big leagues. In 1918, he got a second chance in Brooklyn, but only played in 2 games in July 1918. Baschang died in 1967 at age 78. He was born and died in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was buried at the Vine Street Cemetery in Cincinnati.
