My Take
Ken Hill is the kind of pitcher I find quietly admirable. He came out of working-class Lynn, Massachusetts, stayed local through high school and college, then carved out a fourteen-year big-league career across seven clubs. That much movement usually means a guy who keeps proving he's worth a roster spot, and Hill clearly did. His 1994 with Montreal, an All-Star nod and a share of the NL wins lead, was a genuine peak, capped by a World Series run with Cleveland in 1995. No flash, just durability and craft. I'll always take a survivor over a shooting star, and Hill was a survivor.
