J. Preston ‘‘Pete’’ Hill possessed outstanding bat control, which made him perhaps the greatest line-drive hitter of the day, and also a general nuisance for his ability to foul off countless pitches. A superb outfielder with a strong, accurate (read: rifle) arm, he captained the legendary Leland Giants squad in 1910 that went an astounding 123-6. He spent his twilight years in the game as player-manager of the Detroit Stars in the nascent days of the Negro National League.
