- William J. "Kid" Gleason was an American professional athlete and Major League Baseball player and manager. Gleason is best known as the betrayed manager of the 1919 Chicago White Sox, the team made infamous by the Black Sox scandal, in which Gleason's players conspired to intentionally lose the World Series. Gleason was born in Camden, New Jersey. He acquired the nickname "Kid" early in life, not only because of his short stature but also because of his energetic, youthful nature. Gleason debuted as a pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies on April 20, 1888. He enjoyed several successful seasons, especially 1890 (38 wins), before becoming a second baseman. He was the starting second baseman for the old Baltimore Orioles in 1895. Gleason achieved a .261 career batting average before retiring after the 1912 season. By his two at-bats in one game in 1912, he became a member of the small group of men who played major league baseball in four decades. He began his career as a manager with the White Sox on December 31, 1918. The Black Sox scandal resulted in lifetime bans from baseball for eight White Sox players. Gleason, however, had no knowledge of the conspiracy, although some sources note that he was amongst those who alerted White Sox owner Charles Comisky to the fix. Although he felt betrayed and disappointed by his 1919 team, he continued to manage the White Sox until 1923. After leaving the White Sox in 1923, Kid Gleason would go on to coach under Manager Connie Mack with the Philadelphia Athletics until his death, of a heart ailment, in 1933, at the age of 66, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is buried in Philadelphia's Northwood Cemetery. He won 2 World Series championships with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1929 and 1930.
