A.J. Hill
A.J. Hill was the White Sox 3rd round selection in 1976 out of Hollywood HS...Not surprisingly his HS has an impressive alumnus base of actors but Hill is the only "Sheiks" student to play pro baseball. The infielder made it to AAA in 1977 as an 18 year old when he played 9 games for Iowa. But he mainly was on their AA team for 1978 and 1979. He returned to AA in 1980 but closed the season with the A ball club at Appleton and returned there in 1981. He did not play affiliated ball in 1982 before spending 1983 with the Cubs AA team and 1984 with the Mariners AA team.
His career numbers are 758 G, 2826 AB, 7 HR, 228 RBI, 436 RS, 253 SB with a .250 .AVG and a .312 OBP. He played all but 29 games at AA or lower during his 8 year pro career.
