'''Albert Eugene Chambers''' (born March 24, 1961) is an American former professional baseball player from {{mlby|1983}} to {{mlby|1985}} for the [[Seattle Mariners]] of [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB). Chambers was the [[List of first overall Major League Baseball draft picks|first pick overall]] in the [[1979 Major League Baseball Draft|1979 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, the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] drafted catcher [[Jay 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]] and [[Jerry Don Gleaton]], all of whom would go on to have long MLB careers compared to Chambers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?year_ID=1979&draft_round=1&draft_type=junreg&query_type=year_round|title=1st Round of the 1979 MLB June Amateur Draft}}</ref><br />
