Bill Dahlen

William Frederick Dahlen (January 5, 1870 - December 5, 1950), nicknamed "Bad Bill" for his ferocious temperament, was an American shortstop in Major League Baseball in the 1890s and 1900s, and was also a manager in the 1910s. He played for the Chicago Colts/Orphans (1891-1898), Brooklyn Superbas (1899-1903), New York Giants (1904-1907), Boston Doves (1908-1909), and the Brooklyn Superbas once again in 1910, which were renamed the Dodgers in 1911, his final year as a player. Upon his retirement, he held the major league record for carrer games played, and today he retains several fielding records for shortstops.
