William Thomas Burns (January 27, 1880 – June 6, 1953), nicknamed "Sleepy Bill", was an American baseball player who played as a pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) for five different teams from 1908 to 1912. He earned his nickname for his noticeable lack of intensity on the mound.[citation needed] Burns was best known for his involvement in the alleged fixing of the 1919 World Series, dubbed the Black Sox Scandal.
