Gus Schmelz
Gustavus Heinrich Schmelz was an American manager in Major League Baseball for the Columbus Buckeyes, Cincinnati Red Stockings, and Columbus Solons of the American Association, and for the St. Louis Maroons, Cleveland Spiders and Washington Senators of the National League. He was regarded as a player's manager, but his camaraderie with his players did not translate to pennants, as he never finished higher than second place. His lifetime managerial record was 624–703.
Schmelz died in his birthplace of Columbus, Ohio at age 75 and is buried at Green Lawn Cemetery.
