William S. Peters (May 1867 – April 2, 1933) was an African-American baseball, player, manager, and owner. Peters played first base and managed the Chicago Unions from 1887 to 1900.[1] After owner Frank Leland moved many of the team's players to the Chicago Union Giants, Peters formed his owned team, the Peters Union Giants. He ran the club until 1923.[2]


In 1917, he is listed to have attended the annual Chicago Baseball League meeting with fellow team managers Jimmy Keown and Louis Gertenrich.[3]
