Biography

Bill Holland was a professional baseball player born in 1915, who played briefly in Major League Baseball over a span of just eight days in September 1939. As a position player, Holland participated in three games but unfortunately did not record a hit, registering a batting average of .0 and finishing his career without any home runs or RBIs. His tenure in the majors was marked by a lack of offensive production, as he did not steal any bases during his time on the field. Holland's brief appearance in the MLB occurred during a period characterized by a transition in the game, as teams began to explore a more dynamic style of play. Though his major league career was short-lived, it serves as a reminder of the many players who aspired to make their mark in the sport but may not have had the opportunity to do so over an extended period. While his statistics may not reflect a lasting impact on the game, Bill Holland's participation in the major leagues remains a part of baseball history.
