Ray Hill - Class of 2003

(Wakefield)

A two-time world champion horseshoe pitcher in the senior division (1987 and 1989), Ray Hill was also runner-up three times at the world senior meet.  In 1987 he set senior division records for tournament ringer percentage (76.6) and most double ringers in a tournament (183) and shares an all-division single-game record (17) for "four deads" (four ringers at a time).  He began pitching shoes during the Depression era but did not shoot in league play until the 1960s.
