"The Yankees bought Bill's contract from Syracuse in August of 1951. He was optioned to Kansas City and recalled in May of 1952. In '51 he led International League pitchers with 131 strikeouts.
Bills broke in with Martinsville in 1945. Looked over by the Giants, he was a 17-game winner for Knoxville of the Tri-State League in 1949. He was with Sioux City in 1950 before winding up as Syracuse property."
