Interesting. I remember him with the Giants... but Bonds and Williams were more of the "clobbering" type of hitters.
ReplyDeleteJust looked up his stats on Baseball Reference. Looks like he did hit more home runs than Williams in 1995... but Hill played in 50+ games more than him.
DeleteWhen I hear the word "clobbering", all I can think of is the Thing.
ReplyDeleteWhen he played on the Cubs, he certainly clobbered a homer onto the roof tops across the street from Wrigley!
