On four different occasions, Hoiles had a perfect Fielding Percentage. Offensively, he did not score a lot of hits (739, and only two years with 100 or more), but he did have power with two 20 plus Home Run seasons, and eight years with double digits. Hoiles would have 151 taters over his career, with a respectable Slash Line of .262/.366/.467.
Baltimore inducted Hoiles into their Hall of Fame in 2005.
