William G. Wilson (October 28, 1867 – May 9, 1924) was a professional baseball player. He played all or part of three seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily as a catcher. He played for the 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys and 1897–98 Louisville Colonels.
After retiring from baseball, Wilson became involved in petty crime, eventually being charged in 1909 with forging postal money orders.[1] On May 9, 1924, Wilson's bloodied body was found in a St Paul, Minnesota ice-cream parlour by police after an anonymous phone call.[2] He had been stabbed ten times.[3] Police believed that Wilson had been murdered over a dispute regarding the distribution of illegal moneys from a crime.
