Roy Maxwell Alvis, born February 2, 1938, is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a third baseman from 1962 through 1970, most notably for the Cleveland Indians, where he became a two-time All-Star. He played his final season with the Milwaukee Brewers. Alvis was born in Jasper, Texas, and graduated from Jasper High School (Jasper, Texas). He attended the University of Texas at Austin.
Alvis was signed by the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent in 1958. He played his first major league game on September 11, 1962, with the Cleveland Indians. Alvis became the everyday third baseman for the Indians in 1963. He enjoyed single-season career-high numbers in batting average (.274), RBI (67), runs (81), hits (165), doubles (32) and triples (7). He added 22 home runs (also a personal high), nd appeared to be on his way to stardom, but a about with spinal meningitis disabled him for six weeks in 1964 (a season in which he hit 18 homers in only 381 at-bats).
