William Shirley Collins (March 27, 1882 – June 26, 1961) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball.
On October 6, 1910, while playing for the Boston Doves against the Philadelphia Phillies, Collins became the first major-league player to hit for the natural cycle (a single, double, triple, and home run, in that order).

“What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.”
