"Willie came up to the American League with the Senators at the end of the 1951 season. He went to the White Sox and then to the Browns in 1952.
After breaking into pro ball in 1948, Willie was moved up to Chattanooga where he played for three seasons. During those years, he was a standout fielder and hit .237, .248 and .246. Willie had a .444 mark in seven games with the Senators in 1951."
