== Spilman in RBI ==

Though many overlook Spilman because his paltry .267 average and 1 homer, he has proven to be one of the more underrated batters in RBI. His [[left-handed]] bat and respectable 831 [[power]] rating gives the savvy RBI player a huge boost when subbing Spilman immediately for [[Jose Uribe]]. In [[straight pitch]] games and against right-handed pitcher, Spilman becomes one of the more formidable hitters on the San Francisco team.

== Spilman Facts ==

* Born July 18th, 1954
* His real first name is William, Harry is his middle name
* Is ambidextrous - bats lefty, throws righty
* Played in the Big Leagues from 1978-1989
* Hit a Home Run in game 3 of the 1987 NLCS vs the Cardinals
* Currently hitting coach of the Houston Astros

== Spilman Promotion ==

Spilman's abilities and legacy in RBI have grown thanks to the power of the Internet. Webmaster [[Gantry]] of [[dee-nee.com]] is a huge backer of Spilman and his for San Fran. He launched a one-man promotional tour on his website, which has been quite effective in getting the masses to start using Spilman. As a result, Spilman is a bit of a cult figure in the RBI circles. Gantry's motto is "make sure no man, woman, or child keeps [[Robbie Thompson]] or [[Jose Uribe]] in the game and leaves Spilman on the bench."

== Spilman Feats ==

Spilman once hit 7 consecutive over two games for Gantry, against [[Jae]]. So distraught from having his ass handed to him, Jae decided to use "killspilman" as his [[forum]] nickname.

== Hall of Shame Entries ==

* Immediately after stealing the only base of his career in 1987, Giants manager Roger Craig subs Spilman for a pinch-runner.
