Meek was previously known in some sources by the nickname "Dad" Meek. Per the Society for American Baseball Research, Frank Meek was not called "Dad" during his lifetime—the confusion arose because another baseball player, Harry Meek, had that nickname and the two were conflated at some point in 1915–1916.^[1]
