Bill Wilson

After playing 20 games for the White Sox, the fleet-footed outfielder came to the A's early last season, in a trade. Bill gained the reputation as a long ball hitter with his solid batting in the Minors. At Memphis in '50 he poled 36 homers, drove in 125 runs and hit .311. After 2 years in Service, Bill returned to belt 34 homers and was brought up to the Majors.
