Hub Knolls, born in 1883, was a professional baseball player who briefly played in the major leagues during the early 20th century. His career spanned just two games from May 1 to May 6, 1906, a period when baseball was evolving rapidly, transitioning from the deadball era towards a more offensive style of play. As a position player, Knolls had a unique experience in a time when the game was characterized by strategic base running and a premium on pitching prowess. During his short tenure in the league, Knolls recorded 1 hit in 2 games, finishing his career with a batting average of 1.0.
