William Henry Harrison Geer (born August 13, 1859 in New York, New York) was a shortstop in Major League Baseball in the 19th century. He made his debut in the National Association at age 15, the second youngest player to ever appear in a Major League Baseball game. (Fred Chapman was a few months younger). There is controversy about his age, or the fact that the National Association has not been officially credited as a "Major League". If you accept his birthday, then he didn't actually make his Major league debut until the age of 18 years, 3 months, when he played for the Cincinnati Reds of the National League in by|1878. If you take the National Association as a Major League then, taking his birthday, he would be 15 years 63 days.
