	Hilton Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Giddings, Texas, Smith began his professional career in fl baseball's equivalent of the minor leagues with the Austin Black Senators in Austin, Texas.
		His big league debut was with the Monroe Monarchs of Monroe, Louisiana in 1932, a year which saw the Monroe team lose to the Pittsburgh Crawfords in the Negro League World Series.
		From 1937 until his retirement in 1948 Smith was a star pitcher on the Monarchs, possessing what may have been the best curveball in baseball history; but he was overshadowed by his more flamboyant teammate Satchel Paige.
