Gordon Leigh Slade (October 9, 1904 – January 2, 1974), nicknamed Oskie, was an American professional baseball shortstop. He played six seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1930 to 1935 for the Brooklyn Robins/Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Cincinnati Reds. As a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1932, Slade was thrown out of a game for arguing by National League umpire Charlie Moran.[1][2]
In 437 games over six seasons, Slade posted a .257 batting average (353-for-1372) with 147 runs, 60 doubles, 11 triples, 8 home runs, 123 RBI and 84 bases on balls. He finished his career with an overall .953 fielding percentage.[2]
