William Alvan Faul (April 21, 1940 – February 21, 2002) was an American Major League Baseball player, a right-handed pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, and San Francisco Giants 1962–1966 and 1970. He attended the University of Cincinnati, stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and weighed 184 pounds (83 kg).
In 1965, the Cubs tied a major league record by turning three triple plays. Faul was the pitcher on each occasion.[1] At one point during the same season, Faul credited the success he was having to his having the ability to hypnotize himself and batters.[2]
Faul was a resident of Pleasant Plain, Ohio.[3]
