Record in 1950 was 8-16 in 48 games. During Bill's college days he won 25 games for the University of California, losing only 2. One victory was a no-hitter. After discharge from service, Bill performed sensationally in the Pacific Coast League. Best year was 1948, with a 17-7 record. During 1949, rookie year in majors, won 12, dropped 13, in 35 appearances. Bill is a control pitcher.
He is already being called another "Babe Ruth." His amazing clouting drove out 51 home runs last year, to tie Johnny Mize. In 1946, he also led the National League in home runs. Second player since 1900 to do this as a rookie. He joined the Pirates in 1943 but, due to Uncle Sam's prior claim on his time, it was not until 1946 that he appeared in a game for the Pirates.
One of NL's top sluggers, Willie led Bucs in Homers & RBI's last season. Tied major league record, 8-1-70 with 5 Extra Base Hits in one game. Ranks 3rd on all-time Pirate Homer list.
