William Francis Carrigan (October 22, 1883 – July 8, 1969), nicknamed "Rough", was a Major League baseball catcher and manager.
He played for the Boston Red Sox between 1906 and 1916, and he was a player-manager for the last four of those seasons.
In 1915 and 1916, Carrigan's teams won back-to-back World Series, he was the only Red Sox manager to accomplish that feat in franchise history.
He was said to exert a positive influence on young Red Sox star Babe Ruth, serving as his roommate and his manager.
After his playing career, Carrigan was a partner in a large chain of New England vaudeville and movie theaters.
He returned to the Red Sox as a manager between 1927 and 1929; the team finished in last place in each of those seasons.
He then returned to his native Lewiston, where he was named a bank president in 1953 and where he died in 1969.
