Born on November 8, 1870 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Bill Hoffer (William Leopold Hoffer) played for the Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Blues over the course of his 6 year career. Hoffer broke into the bigs on April 26, 1895 with the Baltimore Orioles, and put up a 3.21 ERA in 314 innings pitched in 1895, his rookie year.
