Alec John Distaso (December 23, 1948 – July 13, 2009) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who appeared in two games played for Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball in 1969.
The native of Los Angeles, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg). Distaso's professional career, curtailed by elbow miseries, lasted four seasons (1967–1970), all in the Cubs' organization.
After winning 13 games for the Class A Quincy Cubs in 1968, he was included on Chicago's 1969 opening season roster and appeared in two games as a relief pitcher in April.
In the first, he hurled two scoreless innings against the expansion edition of the Montreal Expos.
In the second, he allowed two earned runs in 2? innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a double by the Pirates' Bob Robertson the most damaging blow.
He then was sent back to the minor leagues. After retiring as an active player, Distaso became a police officer and then a detective for the Los Angeles Police Department, retiring in 1994.
