Bill Hands

William Alfred Hands, Jr. (May 6, 1940 – March 9, 2017) was an American professional baseball player who pitched in the major leagues from 1965 to 1975.

[3] Hands, whose nickname was "Froggy," signed as an amateur free agent with the San Francisco Giants in 1959, made his major league debut with them in 1965, pitching in four games that season.

After the 1965 season, Hands was traded to the Chicago Cubs with catcher Randy Hundley for outfielder Don Landrum and reliever Lindy McDaniel,[4] a trade regarded at the time as a success for the Giants,[5] and which went on to be viewed as one of the best in Cubs history.

[3] The right-hander spent seven seasons with the Cubs, two with the Minnesota Twins and two with the Texas Rangers.

[7] After retiring from baseball, Hands was a salesman for an oil company on Long Island.
