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.

There is some disagreement on what was Hooks Wiltse's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1908, when he posted a 2.24 ERA, won 23 games and struck out 118 batters. However, others believe that it was 1909, when he posted a 2.00 ERA, won 20 games and struck out 119 batters.
