"Billy's baseball career began in his home town in 1910 when he caught 234 games for Knoxville of the Southeastern League. He played some in the majors for the White Sox and A's, then spent 1918-28 with the Louisville Colonels.
Billy managed the Colonels the last three years he was with the team. He managed Kansas City for six years and Newark for four. He first piloted the Pirates in 1948, when he was named Manager of the Year."
