Willis Jefferson Flournoy (August 9, 1895 – November 22, 1964) was an American baseball pitcher in the Negro leagues. He played from 1919 to 1932. He was nicknamed Jesse, Lefty, and Pud.[1] He won the Eastern Colored League earned run average (ERA) title in 1926 for the Brooklyn Royal Giants.[2]
On August 19, 1925, Flournoy struck William Williams, 18, while driving at a Brooklyn intersection. He then drove Williams, who was found to have a fractured skull and possible internal injuries, to the hospital for treatment. Flournoy reported the incident to police, who did not press charges.[3]
