Billy Hamilton, whose major league career spanned 1888-1901, holds
the all-time record for runs scored in a season (196 in 129 games),
number of consecutive games scoring a run (24), and career runs
scored per game (1.06); he shares records for most triples in a
game (4) and sacrifices in a game (4); and his average of one steal
every 1.74 games bests Ricky Henderson's. Despite these records,
and his 1961 induction into the Hall of Fame, little has been
written about his life and career. This biography covers Hamilton's
entire life, including his major league career with the Kansas City
Cowboys, Philadelphia Phillies, and Boston Nationals, as well as
his later career as a minor league player-manager and
bench-manager, team owner, major league scout, and plant foreman.
The author exclusively uses primary sources for all information
dealing with Hamilton's career and personal life.
