A former professional basketball player, he broke into organized ball in '41 and made the majors with the Cardinals in 1945 after hitting .264 at Rochester in 1944. Del's batting mark isn't mighty, but he comes through with timely hits when they're needed most.
Willie was brought up to the Giants in '59, when he was hitting .372 at the P.C.L. With San Francisco, the lefthanded slugger batted .354 and was named the National League Rookie of the Year.
