Bartholomew Joseph "Buck" Griffith (March 3, 1896 – May 5, 1973) was a Major League Baseball player who played outfield for the Brooklyn Robins and Washington Senators.
Griffith started his professional baseball career in 1919. In 1921, he had a big season for the New Orleans Pelicans of the Southern Association, batting .355 and leading the league in hits with 224.[1] He was subsequently signed by the National League Robins. Griffith spent the next two seasons as a backup outfielder before being traded to the Senators. In 1924, he hit poorly early in the season and was sent down to the minors.
His grandson Matt Williams had a lengthy career in the majors from 1987 to 2003 and was a five-time All-Star at third base.[2] Williams also managed the Washington Nationals baseball club in 2014 and 2015.
