William Henry Crouch (December 3, 1886 – December 22, 1945) was a Major League Baseball pitcher during part of the 1910 season. The 6'1", 210 lb. left-hander was a native of Kiamensi, Delaware.
Crouch started one game for the St. Louis Browns. On July 12, 1910, he faced the Washington Senators at American League Park and the opposing pitcher was Walter Johnson, a future Hall of Famer. They dueled to a 4–4 score at the end of eight innings and the game ended as a tie.
In Crouch's eight innings of work he gave up just three earned runs, and his brief MLB career ended with a 0–0 record and a 3.38 ERA.
Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or crouch:
“Is a Bill of Rights a security for [religious liberty]? If there were but one sect in America, a Bill of Rights would be a small protection for liberty.... Freedom derives from a multiplicity of sects, which pervade America, and which is the best and only security for religious liberty in any society. For where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“The bowl will ensnare and enchant
men who crouch by the hearth
till they want
but the riot of stars in the night;
those who dwell far inland
will seek ships.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
