Albert Eugene Chambers (born March 24, 1961) is an American former professionalbaseball player from1983 to1985 for theSeattle Mariners ofMajor League Baseball (MLB). Chambers was thefirst pick overall in the1979 MLB draft out of high school by the Mariners, but proved a disappointment, as he only appeared in fifty-seven games in his career. In that same draft, theToronto Blue Jays drafted catcherJay Schroeder, who'd go on to be an NFL quarterback. That first round also produced Tim Leary,Andy Van Slyke,Steve Buechele,Brad Komminsk,Tim Wallach,Rick Leach andJerry Don Gleaton, all of whom would go on to have long MLB careers compared to Chambers.[1]
