Joseph S. Simmons (né Chabriel; June 13, 1845 – July 24, 1901) was an American Major League Baseball player and manager from New York City. Simmons played three seasons in the National Association; the last year he was player-manager for the Keokuk Westerns, a team that would win just one game of the 13 that they played. He later became the manager for the Wilmington Quicksteps of the Eastern League. Late in the 1884 season, after winning the Eastern League title, the Quicksteps joined the Union Association as a replacement team, but won only 2 of their 18 games.^[1]
