Dad Meek
Frank J. Meek (March 14, 1867 – December 22, 1922) was a Major League Baseball catcher who played in six games for the St. Louis Browns of the American Association in 1889-90. Per his SABR biography the nickname "Dad" Meek is incorrect. Frank Meek was not called that during his lifetime—the confusion arose because another baseball player, Harry Meek, had that nickname and the two were conflated at some point in 1915-1916.[1]
