Hugh Hill was born on July 21, 1879, in Ringgold, Georgia, and signed with Newt Fisher’s 1901 Nashville baseball club in the inaugural season of the Southern Association. As a pitcher, he won six games while losing five, playing in 51 games because he was also an outfielder.

The ball club won the pennant that season, and when 1902 rolled around, Fisher had Hill on his ball club for another year. And what did he do in his second season?

Hill hit for a .416 batting average. Depending on who you believe, it was a record that was never topped in the 61-year history of the Southern Association.
In this episode I tell about Hill in 1902 and the controversy surrounding his remarkable batting record.
