Winner of the Gold Glove award eight times, Bill is considered the best fielding second baseman in the majors.
Widely heralded as another "Dizzy" Dean, "Vinegar Bend" (from town where he was born) won 12, lost 3 for Albany, Ga. in '49 and had a 1.98 ERA. At Winston-Salem in '50 he had a 17-7 record and led the League in Strikeouts with 227. His 257 SO's for Houston led the Texas League in '51 - he fanned 18 in 1 game, 17 in another and 15 on 2 other occasions. Each of the 3 minor league teams he's played for, has been a pennant winner.
In 1947, his 2nd season of organized baseball, Bob led the Piedmont League with 208 Strikeouts. The next year, the Yankees called him up from Newark after he had won 15 and lost 6 and had a League leading 2.17 Earned Run Average. Bob tore a muscle in his throwing arm in '49 and was sent down to Kansas City after a brief stay with the Yanks in '50. The Senators bought him during the '51 season and Bob threw 3 shutouts and a 2-hitter for the Capitol City team.
