Albert Felix "Al" Pierotti (October 24, 1895 – February 12, 1964) was a professional American football offensive lineman and Major League Baseball pitcher.
Football career
Pierotti played in the American Professional Football League with the Akron Pros, Cleveland Tigers and the New York Brickley Giants. Brickley's New York Giants are not related to the modern-day New York Giants. Al won the 1920 NFL Championship with Akron.
When the AFPA became the National Football League in 1922, Pierotti went on to play with the Milwaukee Badgers, Racine Legion, Boston Bulldogs, and the Providence Steam Roller. However, in 1926, Al switched briefly to the rival American Football League started by Red Grange and his agent C. C. Pyle. During this season, Al played with the Boston Bulldogs, not to be confused with the NFL's Boston Bulldogs in 1929.
Prior to playing professional football, Al played college football at Washington and Lee University.
