"The Kid" is a smart, scrappy and confident player who can play all infield positions. In his 2nd year of pro ball (1947) he led the Arizona-Texas League with .392 and drove in 174 runs. Billy played for Casey Stengel at Oakland in '48 and '49 and was hitting .280 at Kansas City in 1950 when Stengel, the Yankee manager, had him join the Yanks. He hit .250 in 34 games and went into the Armed Forces. He rejoined the Yanks in the middle of the 1951 season.
