George Daniel "Buck" Weaver (August 18 1890 - January 31 1956) was an American shortstop and third baseman in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Chicago White Sox. He is probably best known for his connection to the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Weaver was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and began his major league career on April 11 1912 as a shortstop for the White Sox. Weaver switched to third base in 1917 after Swede Risberg joined the team. An excellent fielder, Weaver was known as the only third baseman in the league that Ty Cobb would not bunt against.
