William Brunswick "Brick" Devereaux, known also as "Red Dog" Devereaux, was a professional baseball player and manager

Santa Cruz (1898–99)
During the fourth inning of a game against the Sacramento Gilt Edges on May 22, 1898 at Snowflake Park Devereaux was struck in the face by Charles Doyle after he was tagged out by Devereaux. Doyle claimed Devereaux provoked him by tagging him aggressively. The umpire sided with Doyle and he was allowed to stay in the game against the protest of Santa Cruz. According to the Sacramento, California based The Record-Union, "The assault [by Doyle] so far as could be seen, was entirely unprovoked [...] Some of the crowd were with Devereaux, but they were in the minority, and were not the class of citizens who delight it witnessing disgraceful scenes."
