Luther Lane Stuart was an American professional baseball player who appeared in three games as a second baseman in 1921 for the St. Louis Browns of Major League Baseball (MLB). Stuart became the first of three Major League players to hit an inside-the-park home run in their first Major League Baseball at bat. It was Stuart's only hit in his three-game career. Stuart also became the first American League player to hit a home run in his first plate appearance. He worked as a scout for the New York Yankees after his playing career was over.
