Edward William Holly (July 6, 1879 – November 27, 1973), born Edward William Ruthlavy, was an American Major League Baseball shortstop. He played all or part of four seasons in the majors. He is also a member of the International League Hall of Fame. Holly's professional career began in 1899 with the Western League's Milwaukee Brewers. In 1901, he played for the St. Paul Saints. After eight years in the minor leagues, Holly was acquired from the Johnstown Johnnies, where he had batted .298 in 1906 by the St. Louis Cardinals. He played 10 games for the Cards, batting just .059, but was apparently impressive enough to be handed the starting shortstop job in 1907, replacing Forrest Crawford. Holly played 150 games for St. Louis that year, batting .229. He was let go after the season. In 1908, Holly was back in the minor leagues, playing for the Rochester Bronchos of the Eastern League, the predecessor of the International League.
