William H. Binga (February 26, 1869 – October 14, 1950) was an American third baseman,[3] catcher[1] and manager in the pre-Negro league baseball era.
[13] It appears Binga started his baseball career at the age of 26, playing three games as a catcher for a team in Adrian, Michigan.
Binga left the Colored Gophers based in Minneapolis in August 1911, the newspaper citing a "disastrous season" due to "bad management" and said the players of the team were "much dissatisfied.
"[14] During his career, he played with Sol White, Rube Foster, George Wilson, Walter Ball, Eugene Barton, Andrew Campbell, Alex Irwin, Candy Jim Taylor, Johnny Davis, and he played baseball alongside University of Minnesota famed Bobby Marshall.
He received a proper headstone for the first time in June 2014 from the Negro Leagues Baseball Grave Marker Project.
