He is the second of only two Major League Baseball players to have died as a result of an injury received in a game (the first was Mike "Doc" Powers in 1909); Chapman was hit in the head by a pitch thrown by Yankees pitcher Carl Mays. His death led Major League Baseball to establish a rule requiring umpires to replace the ball whenever it became dirty. His death was also one of the examples used to emphasize the need for wearing batting helmets (although the rule was not adopted until over thirty years later). His death was partially the reason MLB banned the spitball after the season.

- Ray Chapman (* 15. Januar 1891 in Beaver Dam, Kentucky; † 17. August 1920 in New York City) war ein US-amerikanischer Baseballspieler, der seine gesamte Karriere bei den Cleveland Indians spielte. Er ist bekannt als der einzige Spieler der Major League Baseball (MLB), der jemals während eines Baseballspiels von einem Hit by Pitch getötet wurde, den er direkt auf den Kopf bekam. Sein Tod gilt noch heute als Argument für die Notwendigkeit, dass die Schlagmänner Helme während des „at bats“ tragen sollen und müssen, auch wenn die Helmpflicht in der MLB erst Jahre nach seinem Tod eingeführt wurde.
