[edit] Biography
Born on September 7, 1879 in Hamilton, New York, Hooks Wiltse (George Leroy Wiltse) played for the New York Giants and Brooklyn Tip-Tops over the course of his 12 year career. Wiltse broke into the bigs on April 21, 1904 with the New York Giants, and put up a 2.84 ERA in 164.2 innings pitched in 1904, his rookie year.
