Biography
William Monroe Ewing (January 31, 1903 – September 1, 1979), nicknamed "Buck", was an American Negro league catcher between 1920 and 1930.
A native of Massillon, Ohio, Ewing made his Negro leagues debut in 1920 with the Chicago American Giants. He went on to play for the Columbus Buckeyes and Cleveland Tate Stars, and finished his career with a three-year stint with the Homestead Grays from 1928 to 1930. Ewing died in Schenectady, New York in 1979 at age 76.
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bud Culloton said Ewing was "heads and shoulders over any catcher in independent baseball in his time." He further said it was "a baseball tragedy that this man didn't have an opportunity to play in the majors."
