"Bill was used in both starting and relief roles for the Yankees in 1952, his rookie year.
After entering pro ball with Martinsville in 1945, he was released to Lexington. Bill won 17 games for Knoxville of the Tri-State League in 1949 and saw action for Sioux City in 1950.
The Yanks brought him up after Bill turned in a 14-10 record and led the International League with 131 strikeouts while hurling for Syracuse."
