Robert Alexander Unglaub (July 31, 1881 - November 29, 1916) was an infielder for the New York Highlanders, the Boston Americans, and the Washington Senators. He attended the University of Maryland, and in 1904, he was offered his first shot at the major leagues, being signed by the Highlanders. Due to blood poisoning, he was only able to play six games, and in one of the most controversial trades in the modern era, he was sent to the Americans for Patsy Dougherty, allegedly to provide the New York Giants with stiffer competition in the city of New York. He didn't become a regular player until the 1907 season, where he also served as manager of the Americans, replacing George Huff. He went 9-20 (.310) in his only managerial stint. Unglaub had a series of minor league managerial jobs, and in 1916, he was tragically killed in a locomotive accident in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland at age 35.
