Hill went on to play 200 games or so over the course of seven years, despite chronic ankle issues caused by his numerous surgeries. It had been a bad downhill spiral for him, given that he had once been considered one of the best.

He went on to achieve many great feats in baseball and football, cementing his status as a legend, but in 1990, his hip was dislocated in a freak injury during a football game. After that, he only played a few more seasons due to his injury, which he never fully recovered from.
