He was the first person who had played baseball in a major league to become a casualty of military service.[1] Early lifeStearns was born in 1853 in Washington, D.C. and although he was only 12 years old when the American Civil War ended, he was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, which indicates he served in some capacity during the war, perhaps as a drummer or messenger.[2] Professional baseballFor the first three seasons of his career, Stearns appeared exclusively as a pitcher. In {{mlby|1871}}—the first year of the National Association—he pitched two complete games for Washington Olympics, winning both, with a 2.50 ERA. In {{mlby|1872}} he pitched 11 complete games for the Washington Nationals, unfortunately losing all of them, with a 6.18 ERA. In {{mlby|1873}} he pitched 32 complete games for the Washington Blue Legs, posting a record of 7–25, with a 4.61 ERA.

In {{mlby|1874}} with the Hartford Dark Blues his pitching record was 3–14 with a 2.95 ERA, and he played 19 games in the outfield. In his final season of {{mlby|1875}}—also the final year of the National Association—he was with the Washington Nationals, pitching to a 1–14 record with a 4.02 ERA, and playing 7 games in the outfield. Stearns' career pitching record was 13–64 with a 4.28 ERA, and as a batter he had 411 plate appearances, hitting .191 with just two extra base hits, both doubles. He later served as an umpire[3] during 1884.[4] Spanish–American War{{Infobox military person|name=Bill Stearns |birth_date= |death_date= |birth_place= |death_place= |placeofburial=Arlington National Cemetery |placeofburial_label=Place of burial |image= |caption= |allegiance=United States |branch=United States Army |serviceyears=1898 |rank=Private |commands= |unit=First District of Columbia Volunteers |battles=Spanish–American War |awards= |relations= |laterwork= |alma_mater= }} In 1898 with the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, Stearns volunteered for military service.
