Player Biography
A standout centerfielder with a rifle arm, J. Preston “Pete” Hill was one of the greatest line-drive hitters of his era. From the turn of the century to the early-1920s, Hill stood tall among Giants – starring with legendary clubs such as the Cuban X Giants, Philadelphia Giants, Leland Giants and Chicago American Giants. Hill captained the 1910 Leland Giants, which compiled a team record of 123-6. He also tormented pitchers with an ability to foul off pitch after pitch. Hill concluded his career as player-manager for the Detroit Stars during their early days in the fledgling Negro National League.
