Lewis Smith Carr (August 15, 1872 – June 15, 1954) was an American shortstop and third baseman in Major League Baseball. In 1901, he played "alongside Honus Wagner for a championship Pittsburgh Pirates team."[1][2]
Carr attended and played baseball at Syracuse University, later coaching the school's baseball team from 1910 to 1942.[3] The Orangemen were 275–268 with Carr at the helm. In 1952, the school's baseball diamond was renamed in his honor.[4]
