All County football team photo in local newspaper featured broken hand in cast

In newspaper article, opposing coach said; “A kid like Hill is bound to get hurt. When he plays a game, he plays it” Two broken hands and a bad knee seems about par for the course for Hill “Hill suffered his second broken hand in three years last week in the Brownies ’21-7 conquest of Hueytown. But before he was through, he’d scored twice and flipped a 43-yard scoring shot to Burnett.”… (And kicked 3 extra points)


In newspaper: ”You’d think sports filled the whole life of Tommy Hill of Jones Valley. Only a sophomore he has lettered in football,basketball and baseball. But Sports aren’t the only thing. Tommy is an A-B student and president of his class.”

Tommy E Hill Personal Coach Paul Bear Bryant Stories

I In the fall of 1957 when I returned home from a basketball game against Tarrant where I scored 27 points while playing with a broken hand ; My dad said,” the Bear called you”. The only Bear I had ever heard of in 1957 was Yogi Bear and I did not know why Yogi would be calling me.

Coach Bryant offered me a full football scholarship to the University of Alabama but I had already been told I had a baseball scholarship to Alabama and I intended to attend Alabama on a baseball scholarship

A) Based on unverifiable hearsay information I have been told I was the first player offered a football scholarship to Alabama by Coach Bryant (I think the first source of this information was from Coach Sam Bailey)

II In fall of 1957 when I was being flown to an Alabama game in Mobile with five other recruits (the only one I remember was Jerry Schubert) the alumni man who was sponsoring my trip told me even if I were to only play baseball at Alabama ;
“You will benefit from just being in the presence of Coach Bryant”

III In the fall of 1958 while in my dorm room in Friedman Hall with my roommate, Stan Cook, our room door was slung open at about 11:15 P.M. By some of the coaches (I believe one was Jerry Claiborne) who said “Hill what are you doing and I replied “Reading my Bible”, to which the Coaches said get in bed and read your Bible before 11:00 P.M.
A funny thing; I never got another bed check in my career at Alabama.

A) On several occasions when I was in Coach Bryant's office to pick up my $28.00 per month check I saw a blackboard with all kinds of numbers and letters on it. I thought it was some new terminology for football plays. I did not know at the time but later I discovered this was a list of current New York Stock Exchange quotes.

IV In May of 1959, I wanted to get married but knew I had to have Coach Campbell the baseball coach and Coach Bryant’s as Athletic director permission to get married and keep my scholarship.

I had made my grades and had hit 500 on the freshman baseball team so I was confident and self assured when going in to see Coach Campbell to ask his permission to get married.

I knew that Coach Bryant as athletic director would ultimately have to give the approval but I did not expect him to be in Coach Campbell’s office when I arrived.

I was not scared or anything just because Coach Bryant was there!
Coach Bryant asks me the most difficult question I have ever been asked; “What is the name of the young Lady you are going to marry?”
I never could give the correct answer. I guess Joyce Lee Smith was just too difficult of a name

V The next year after the foregoing questioning took place I encountered Coach Bryant while walking on campus and he put his big arm around my shoulders and ask; “Tom, how are your grades going?” I thought surely he was going to ask; how is your wife, what’s her name?”

VI While playing in every inning of every game played for 1961 season, I lead the team among regular players in, Hits, Runs, RBI’s, Total Bases, Home Runs, Slugging Percent of 696% and on base percentage of 500% with a batting average of 391,”DID NOT STRIKE OUT” in eighty seven plate appearances while taking 21 semester course hours during baseball season and making all A’s & B’s.

At the end of the season after a game where I slid to catch a fly ball near fence; at baseball banquet after this game, Coach Bryant said he wanted to congratulate me (NOT FOR ANY OF THE FOREGOING) but for my ”Hustle.”

VII I graduated in three years; therefore, in 1962 I was in graduate school, where for each class you went to class one night for three hours instead of undergraduate school where you go one hour three times a week; therefore, during baseball season when you missed one day it was equilivant to missing a week of classes. The University had a policy which stated you had to attend two thirds of the class sessions in a subject or no matter how good your grade you could not receive credit for the course.

We were not in the same division with Auburn but played them two back to back games at the end of the season. We played them in Tuscaloosa on a Friday and I hit a home run to help win the game. We are scheduled to play them on the next Tuesday in Auburn but if I go to Auburn I can not get back for my class and would not graduate and receive my Masters Degree because of the Universities academic minimum attendance Rule.

Neither we nor Auburn were in contention for any kind of play off. The game was meaningless other than to beat Auburn.

I told Coach Campbell my dilemma. Coach Campbell came back later and said Coach Bryant was going to fly me to Auburn in the University of Alabama’s private airplane in order to get back for my Masters degree Class the night of the game.

When the Universities private plane with me, the two pilots, Coach Campbell and Coach Laslie aboard was over Montgomery on the way to Auburn; Coach Laslie said; “Hill, Coach Bryant said if we lose the game you are to ride back on the bus with the rest of the team". I hit a tripple, double and two singles and we won the game and I received my Masters Degree.

VIII In a meeting in 1985 in Cleveland, Ohio at The Cleveland Municipal Stadium where I was negotiating to purchase the Cleveland Indians Major League Baseball Team for my personal account with Tommy E Hill, Art Clarkson (Owner of The Birmingham Barons) Gabe Paul (President and CEO of Cleveland Indians), Phil Seghi (General Manager Cleveland Indians) present, while telling “old war stories” the subject of Coach Bryant came up. Mr. Paul said he remembered an All Star game played on July 14, 1970 at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, home of the Cincinnati Reds of the National League when he was at the game with Coach Bryant and when the young woman sang the national anthem before the game tears came to Coach Bryant’s eyes. Gabe Paul said the tears were because young lady singing was Coach Bryant’s daughter.

In about 2004 at an Alabama A-Club Educational & Charitable Foundation Annual Board Meeting in Birmingham where Paul Bryant Jr. was present. When I told this story, Paul Jr said the above story was not true because his sister did not sing

IX Coach Paul Bear Bryant Hounds Tooth Hat (Another story)
In the fall of 2008 while at lunch with Dale Williams (High School Football teammate and friend) and Coach Herbert B Hanes Former Jones Valley and Ensley High School head football coach (Described in more detail herein above); Coach Hanes said,” Coach Bryant came to football practice at Jones Valley High School in fall of 1958 to recruit Billy Burgess (JVHS All State Football Player who played at Auburn) where Coach Hanes was wearing a “Hounds Tooth Hat” which Coach Bryant said, he liked and was going to get a hounds tooth hat like Coach Hanes’s .
(Coach Hanes died September 5, 2010 and was buried wearing his” Hounds Tooth Hat”)
