Born on July 19, 1865 in Louisville, Kentucky, Bill Hart (William Franklin Hart) played for the Philadelphia Athletics, Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Perfectos and Cleveland Blues over the course of his 8 year career. Hart broke into the bigs on July 26, 1886 with the Philadelphia Athletics, and put up a 3.19 ERA in 186 innings pitched in 1886, his rookie year.

There is some disagreement on what was Bill Hart's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1895, when he posted a 4.75 ERA, won 14 games and struck out 85 batters. However, others believe that it was 1886, when he posted a 3.19 ERA and struck out 78 batters.
