	MSN Encarta - Keeler, Wee Willie
		Keeler, Wee Willie (1872-1923), American professional baseball player, who coined the baseball axiom, "Keep your eye on the ball and hit 'em where they ain't." He was born William Henry Keeler in Brooklyn, New York, and earned his nickname due to his small stature (about 1.59 m/about 5 ft 4 in).
		He was one of the few baseball players to play for three New York teams during his career: the Giants (1892, 1893, 1910), the Brooklyn Dodgers (1893, 1899-1902), and the Yankees (1903-1909).
		Known as a place hitter, adept at hitting the ball to specific, advantageous positions in the field, Keeler led the National League in batting average in 1897 and 1898.
