Herbert Hill

Herbert Hill was a position player who had a brief, yet notable career in Major League Baseball in 1915. Born in 1891, Hill's professional playing career culminated in a single game appearance on July 17, 1915. Although he did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in during that game, his presence in the league reflects the depth and variety of players who contributed to baseball during the early 20th century. Playing in an era marked by the transition from the deadball era to a more offensive-focused style, Hill's single-game stint is a reminder of the many athletes who aspired to reach the highest level of the sport. Despite his limited statistics—0 games played, 0 hits, 0 home runs, and a batting average of 0.0—his entry into Major League Baseball signifies a moment in history when countless players sought their chance to shine, even if only for a fleeting moment.
