William Francis Plummer (born March 21, 1947 in Oakland, CA) was a catcher for the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and the Seattle Mariners. While never a regular player (he was Johnny Bench's backup catcher during the Big Red Machine years), he did play solid defense. He was a lifetime .188 hitter (he only batted above .200 three times in his career). After he retired, he stayed with the Mariners as a third base coach, and when Jim Lefebvre was fired after the 1991 season, he was hired as manager. He finished last in his only season in Seattle, going 64-98. In one particular incident before a game against the Chicago White Sox, a lineup card was filled out by his third base coach that had no DH and he was blamed for it. The M's won that game.

"There are countless patents taken out all the time," says BillPlummer, vice president of government and industry affairs for Nokia.
Plummer also says that any patent associated with radio frequency emissions is probably connected to efforts to increase the efficiency of power usage.
