Hildreth Milton "Hilly" Flitcraft (August 21, 1923 – April 2, 2003) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. Flitcraft played for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1942 season. In 3 career games, he had a 0–0 record with an 8.10 ERA. He batted and threw left-handed.
Following the 1942 season, Flitcraft voluntarily retired from baseball in order to tend to the family dairy farm during World War II.[1] He, however, took himself off the retirement list in 1945 and took part in training among farm team members due to the war travel restrictions.[2] While playing for Wilmington, the 1945 season was his best as a pro baller as he was selected in the all-star team.[2]
Flitcraft was born in Woodstown, New Jersey, and died in Boulder, Colorado.[1]
Hildreth Milton Flitcraft is referenced in Allen Woods' 2017 Formulas of the Moral Law as a seemingly random or stand-in name. The reference is found in footnote 7, and is used within the context of a maxim: “Make a false promise on a Tuesday to a person named Hildreth Milton Flitcraft”.[3]
