He began in baseball in 1941 with Idaho Falls of the Pioneer League. The Red Sox are Bill's third major league team. He has played for the Yankees and the White Sox."

"Bill put in three years in the minors and three years in the Navy before he made the majors with the Yankees in 1946. Sent to Kansas City in '47, he won 16 and lost 9 and was recalled at the end of the season. In 1948, Bill was traded to the White Sox and had a 9-20 record.
He came back in '49 to win 15 while losing 13 and in 1950 he had a 10-16 mark. In December of 1950, he was traded to the Red Sox.
Bill sketches for a hobby and is quite good at it."
