Born July 28, 1893, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher, Outfielder, and Manager Wilbur "Bullet" Rogan. Bullet Rogan was an American Negro League baseball pitcher and manager. He is considered one of the greatest pitchers in Negro League history.

Rogan's early baseball career took place in the U.S. Army, where he played for a famous team in the all-black 25th Infantry. After joining the Kansas City Monarchs, he was the top pitcher and one of the best hitters on a team that won three pennants from 1923 to 1925 and the 1924 Colored World Series.

He became a playing manager in 1926 and led his team to another league title in 1929. Rogan was a smart pitcher with a wonderful memory. He never forgot a batter's weaknesses and strong points. His fastball was almost too fast to catch, and he was also a skilled curveball pitcher. Rogan was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998.
