Francis Hasbrouck Brill (born Briell) (March 28, 1864 – November 19, 1944) was an American professional baseball player and hall-of-fame bowler. He appeared in one season in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Wolverines during the 1884 season. He played 12 games as a pitcher and one game as an outfielder.[1] He later played several seasons of minor league baseball. During the 1900s he became a prominent ten-pin bowler. At the first annual national championship held by the American Bowling Congress in 1901, Brill won both the singles (648 pins) and all-events (1,736 pins) championships.[2] He was inducted into the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame in 1996.
