About Robert Leadley
- Robert H.
- "Bob" Leadley (November 11, 1858 – May 19, 1936) was a professional baseball manager, administrator, and team owner whose career spanned from 1884 to 1897.
- He was a manager in Major League Baseball for the last portion of the 1888 season with the Detroit Wolverines and for parts of the 1890 and 1891 seasons with the Cleveland Spiders.
- Over those three seasons, Leadley compiled a record of 76-86 and a winning percentage of .469.

In 1899, Leadley was removed from his position as clerk of the Police Court in Detroit after $10,000 was discovered missing.
