Bill Conroy (infielder)

William Frederick Conroy (January 9, 1899 – January 23, 1970), nicknamed "Pep", was a professional baseball player. He was an infielder for one season (1923) with the Washington Senators. For his career, he compiled a .133 batting average in 60 at-bats, with two runs batted in.

He was born and later died in Chicago at the age of 71.

Conroy was treated for an abscess or tumor at the base of his brain, first experienced in 1922. "The ruddy-faced, stockily built youngster reported to the training camp apparently in the best of health, said he felt well and showed sufficient ability in the exhibition games to earn the berth as regular at the far corner." He admitted to having headaches in spring training, but was eager to play in 1923.
