George Wilson (pitcher)

George H. Wilson (July 1875 – November 26, 1915) was an American baseball pitcher in the Negro leagues.

Wilson lived in Palmyra Township, Michigan when the Page Fence Giants were founded in Adrian, the Lenawee County seat, for the 1895 season.

"In his palmy days he was considered the swiftest pitcher in the country, but illness has reduced his speed and he has joined the minor leagues.

He returned to his farm near Palmyra Township, Michigan and continued to pitch Sunday games for local teams until he was nearly 40 years old.
