Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). William Ronald Bryan (born December 4, 1938, in Morgan, Georgia) is an American former Major League Baseball catcher. He was signed by the Kansas City Athletics in 1960. Bryan played 8 seasons in the majors: Kansas City Athletics, 1961–1965; New York Yankees, 1966–1967; and the Washington Senators, 1968. Bryan stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall, weighed 200 pounds (91 kg), batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
Bryan had some success at the minor league level, making the All-Star team for the 1961 Class B Northwest League[1] and hitting 25 home runs, knocking in 85 runs, and batting .295 in the Double-A Texas League in 1962.[2] But although he hit for some power in the Majors, especially when he was the regular or semi-regular catcher for the Athletics in 1964–1965, he hit only .216 at the Major League level, with 209 career hits, 968 at bats, and 283 strikeouts.
