Title: Billy Pierce passes
Post by: pope of vegas on July 31, 2015, 10:22:31 AM

The White Sox mourn the loss of legend Billy Pierce, who passed away this morning at the age of 88.
“Generations of White Sox fans lost one of their heroes today,” said Jerry Reinsdorf, chairman of the White Sox. “It was an absolute privilege to consider Billy a friend. He epitomized class, not just as a ballplayer on those great Go-Go White Sox teams of the 1950s, but as a gentleman and as a human being who devoted so much of his life to helping others.”

Was a boyhood favorite.  Met him back in the 90's and got to chat with him for 15 min.  What a great guy.!would sit at the kitchen table and listen to road games he was pitching.  RIP Bill. redrose
