Bruce Campbell (October 20, 1909-June 17, 1995) was a professional baseball player from 1930 to 1942. Campbell began his career with the Chicago White Sox, but had very little playing time in the major leagues. In 1932, Campbell was traded from the White Sox to the St. Louis Browns with Bump Hadley for Red Kress. In St. Louis, Campbell was a starting outfielder, and performed well, driving in 106 runs in 1933. In the 1935 season Campbell played with the Cleveland Indians, after being traded for multiple players and cash. In Cleveland, Campbell had considerably higher batting averages than he did in St. Louis, although injuries limited his playing time.
In January 1940, the Indians traded Campbell to the Detroit Tigers for Beau Bell. The trade worked out for Campbell, as the Tigers won the American League pennant, and Campbell played all seven games of the 1940 World Series. Campbell had nine hits, four walks, scored four runs, five RBIs and a home run in the World Series, with a batting average of .360, on base percentage of .448 and slugging percentage of .520.
Campbell later played for the Washington Senators before ending his career. His career batting average was .290.
