William Oliver Gilbert was born in 1876 in Tullytown, PA and died in 1927 in New York, NY. He played major league baseball from 1901 to 1909 as 2nd baseman and shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles, New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, and appeared in the 1905 World Series. While not a strong hitter, Billy sometimes was among league leaders. From 1902-1904 he was either second or third each year in hit-by-pitch. In 1903 he was second in the league in sacrifice hits. In 1902 he was fourth in the league in stolen bases and then in 1903 he was sixth in the league in that category.
