William James Duggleby (March 16, 1874 – August 30, 1944), nicknamed "Frosty Bill", was an American pitcher for the
first major league at-bat, followed by Jeremy Hermida, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Daniel Nava. He was the only pitcher to hit a grand slam for their first major league hit until July 8, 2021, when Daniel Camarena became the second. As of 2011[update], he still holds the Phillies team record for hit batsmen
for a career (82).
Duggleby was one of the "jumpers" who left the Phillies in 1902 for other teams, including (in Duggleby's case)
Pennsylvania Supreme Court
. Duggleby was the first of the "jumpers" to return to the Phillies, on May 8, 1902, after playing only two games with the A's.
He was the manager of the Minor League Baseball team, the Albany Babies, in 1912.
Duggleby, a native of Utica, New York, died in Redfield, New York in 1944.
