Biographical Information

Bill Rollinson caught one game for the Washington Nationals of the Union Association in 1884 Nationals. He is listed in the boxscore as Rollinson, and his pitcher is listed as "Thompson", but both of these were assumed names. The battery was from Brown University, and Thompson was actually Fred Clay Tenney while Rollinson was William Winslow. In both cases, it was their only game in the majors.
