went 0 for 2, striking out in both of his plate appearances. In the 2000 World Series against the New York Mets, Hill played in three games going 0 for 3. He earned a World Series ring when the Yankees defeated the Mets in five games. Anaheim Angels (2001) On March 28, 2001, Hill was traded to the Angels for minor-leaguer Darren Blakely. He appeared in only sixteen games that year, hitting .136 before being released on June 1. He retired after the season. In a 13-year major league career, Hill compiled a lifetime batting average of .271, hitting 186 home runs and driving in 586 RBIs in 1,162 games. As a pinch hitter Hill had a .287 lifetime average with 13 home runs. Coaching career In 2003, he began coaching in the Colorado Rockies minor league system before being named first base coach following the 2006 season. In 2007, Hill started wearing a helmet while coaching first base following the death of Tulsa Drillers (a Rockies minor-league affiliate) first base coach and former major leaguer Mike Coolbaugh from injuries sustained when hit in the head by a batted ball. Hill and Oakland's Rene Lachemann were the only coaches at the major league level to do so that year. Hill quickly became an advocate for all first base coaches to wear helmets. In 2007, Joe Garagiola, Jr. (then Vice President of Baseball Operations), adopted a rule requiring all professional baseball base coaches to wear helmets beginning in 2008. Hill managed the Colorado Springs Sky Sox during the 2013 and 2014 seasons while the Sky Sox were the AAA affiliates of the Colorado Rockies. He was named the manager of the Albuquerque Isotopes on January 8, 2015, after the Colorado Rockies changed their AAA affiliation from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque Isotopes. Steroid allegations Mitchell Report In December 2007, Hill was included in the Mitchell Report in which it was alleged that he had used performance-enhancing drugs during his career. In the report, Kirk Radomski alleged that he met Hill at a social function in 2000 during which they discussed Hill's dissatisfaction with the results from his use of HGH. Radomski claims he sent Hill a complimentary bottle of HGH, which Hill tried - then later expressed his satisfaction with the results. Radomski stated that Hill purchased two kits of HGH from him and provided a photocopy of a cancelled check from Hill for $3,200. Hill's phone number and address were also included in Radomski's address book. As an employee of Major League Baseball, Hill was required to submit to an interview by the Mitchell investigators. During the interview, Hill denied having used the HGH provided by Radomski, citing that he had been suffering from marital stresses at the time. He stated that this had been a one-time purchase, and that he had never used performance-enhancing substances. He admitted that the drugs had stayed in his possession until 2007 when he discovered them while unpacking from a move. Hill claimed that he couldn't remember other players with

He

keeping
their
children
involved
in
the
