Elander Victor Harris (June 10, 1905 – February 23, 1978) was an American professional baseball outfielder and manager in the Negro leagues. Listed at 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) and 168 pounds (76 kg), he batted left-handed and threw right-handed. Nicknamed "Vicious Vic", he was noted as one of the toughest players of his era along with one of the best managers in black baseball. Harris managed the Homestead Grays to first place in the Negro National League eight times (most for any manager in the Negro leagues) along with a Negro World Series title in 1948, the final one held in all of black baseball. He was also named to the East–West All-Star Game seven times. Harris has been described by Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum as one who should be a household name. In eleven seasons as manager, he never had a losing season. One teammate described Harris as such: “He just undressed the opposing infielder — cut the uniform right off his back.” Despite this, he has not been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
