- William Francis Plummer was a catcher for the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and the Seattle Mariners. While never a regular player (he was Johnny Bench's backup catcher during the Big Red Machine years), he did play solid defense. He was a lifetime .188 hitter (he only batted above .200 three times in his career). After he retired, he stayed in the Mariners system. He managed the Wausau Timbers in 1981. He was the Mariners' third base coach, and when Jim Lefebvre was fired after the 1991 season, he was hired as manager. He finished last in his only season in Seattle, going 64-98. In one particular incident before a game against the Chicago White Sox, a lineup card was filled out by his third base coach that did not list a designated hitter, and Plummer was blamed for it. The Mariners, however, went on to win the game. Plummer has managed in both independent and minor league baseball having managed the Western Baseball League's Chico Heat from 1997-2000 and was recently hired to manage the Arizona Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate, the Tucson Sidewinders. He is currently the catching instructor for the Diamondbacks.
