Oliver Hill was a prominent civil rights attorney whose legal work significantly contributed to the demise of segregated schools in the United States. He was instrumental in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, arguing against the constitutionality of racial segregation in public education. His advocacy and legal strategies helped to challenge and dismantle Jim Crow laws, ultimately leading to the Supreme Court's ruling in 1954 that declared segregated schools unconstitutional. Hill's efforts not only advanced the cause of educational equality but also inspired broader civil rights movements across the nation.

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Oliver Hill in 1939?

In 1939, Oliver Hill played for the Boston Bees. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1939, Oliver Hill had 2 at bats, 1 hit, 0 walks, and was hit by the pitch 0 times. Sacrifice flies weren't counted before 1954. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .500. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1939, Oliver Hill had 2 at bats, and hit 0 singles, 1 double, 0 triples, and 0 home runs, for a 1.000 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1939, Oliver Hill had a .500 On Base Percentage and a 1.000 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of 1.500. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1939, Oliver Hill had a .500 On Base Percentage and 2 Total Bases for 1.00 Runs Created.
