Billy Hamilton getting some national press on Yahoo

.......How fast? Well, for a few additional facts on Hamilton's ridiculous speed, check out this short piece from Sam Miller at Baseball Prospectus, published April 30. These two details might be my favorites:

Billy Hamilton has reached on eight infield singles. He has been thrown out by infielders 14 times. When Billy Hamilton hits the ball on the ground to an infielder, and the infielder fields the ball cleanly, Billy Hamilton is hitting .364.

Billy Hamilton scored the walk-off run on April 20 on a sacrifice fly. To the second baseman.
