Default Sliding Billy Hamilton's lifetime passes

The original Lifetime Passes are the only of the lifetime variety that were paper. Later incarnations of the passes were issued on solid gold, sterling silver, metal, and leather.

One of only three Major League players to average more than one run per game played, Billy Hamilton crossed the plate at least 100 times in eleven seasons. His 197 runs scored in 1894 remains the Major League record. A two-time batting champ, Hamilton hit a career high .403 in 1894.

Hamilton’s name can still be found among baseball’s all-time career leader board in stolen bases (3rd), on-base percentage (4th), and batting average (7th).

These passes can be seen on CooperstownExpert.com on Billy Hamilton's page.
