William "Kid" Gleason

A 19th-century pitcher and infielder turned beloved coach, Gleason managed the 1919 White Sox in his first season at the helm and watched his pennant winners lose to Cincinnati. He was never implicated in the fix; he is the honest man in the middle of the story, suspicious during the Series and powerless to stop what his players had already set in motion. He appears in the W514 set alongside the men he managed.
