    For some reason I thought Billy was 10 yrs older. Bet his Grandkids heard a plethora of MLB stories which made their heads spin.

    Not only did he teach Mo' his cutter, and mentored many great Yankee Pitchers. Greg Maddux spoke of Billy at his HOF Induction speech. Billy also was the P Coach for the 84 NLCS Cubs, the 1980 KC W. Series Team.
