Player Biography
Winner of four home run titles, Lewis Robert “Hack” Wilson packed a wallop in his 12-year career. Known for his compact stature, Wilson was described by sportswriter Thomas Holmes thusly: “There is Wilson, a giant of a little man, one who looks as though he might have been battered down to his five-feet six-inches by a ponderous blacksmith’s hammer.” Holmes also wrote “(Wilson’s) feet are in proportion to his height – they are the feet of a ballet dancer or bantamweight fighter.” Wilson’s 1930 season still inspires awe: a record 191 RBIs, 56 home runs and a .356 batting average.
