William Angel Rariden (February 4, 1888 – August 28, 1942), was an American professional baseball player.

He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher from 1909 to 1920 for the Boston Doves/Rustlers/Braves, Indianapolis Hoosiers/Newark Pepper, New York Giants, and Cincinnati Reds.

[3] Rariden's small size and agility helped him become one of the best catchers in major league baseball.

[5] Rariden was also a member of the 1919 Cincinnati Reds team which won the scandal-plagued 1919 World Series against the Chicago White Sox.

[1] Rariden led Federal League catchers twice in putouts, twice in assists and twice in baserunners caught stealing.
