1971 Topps #192 Billy Wilson


About Billy Wilson
In 37 games for the 1970 Phillies, Bill Wilson went 1-0 with a 4.78 ERA. He struck out 41 in 58 1/3 innings and went 1 for 4 at the plate. His #192, a second-series card, pictures him with Philadelphia.
William Harlan Wilson was born September 21, 1942, in Pomeroy, Ohio. A right-handed pitcher who threw and batted right, he stood 6 foot 2 and weighed 195 pounds. Wilson attended Marshall University before signing with the Philadelphia organization in 1962 and spending seven seasons working through its minor league system. He finally made the Phillies' major league roster at the outset of the 1969 season and stayed with the club, always as a reliever, through 1973. Across 179 games he went 9-15 with 17 saves. He posted a 4.22 ERA and 171 strikeouts in 258 innings. In one unusual moment, on August 6, 1971, manager Frank Lucchesi sent him out to play third base for part of an inning against Pittsburgh, putting him on the field against Hall of Famer Willie Stargell. Wilson's entire thirteen-year professional career, 1962 to 1974, was spent in the Phillies organization. He died on August 11, 1993, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at age 50.
