William "Dizzy" Dismukes (March 15, 1890 – June 30, 1961) was an American pitcher and manager in Negro league baseball and during the pre-Negro league years. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama, where his father Isaac Lee Dismukes was a deacon in a Baptist church, and his mother Sallie taught Sunday School.[9] He knew from the time he was a youth that baseball was his first love, and he dropped out of school to follow his dream of becoming a baseball player.[10]
