George Huff (baseball)

George A. Huff (June 11, 1872 - October 1, 1936) was athletic director of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1895 to 1935. He also served as baseball coach until 1919. Huff Hall is named in his honor.

Huff was briefly a manager for the Boston Americans at the start of the 1907 season following the sudden suicide of Chick Stahl. Cy Young started out as the player/manager, but after six games stepped down in favor of Huff. Huff managed only eight games, finishing with a career 2-6 (.250) managerial record, before resigning on May 1, 1907, to return to his old job. Bob Unglaub replaced him. The Americans had a total of four managers in the 1907 season.
