So sad to hear this. Billy Pierce was at least the second best American League Left-Handed pitcher of the 1950's and a good argument could be made for him being the best in MLB during that time if not just the A.L.
This is my opinion based purely on his stats...while I'm glad I'm not old enough to have seen him pitch, or at least to remember it, I do wish I had seen him...nothing more enjoyable to me than watching a great LHP ply his trade.
Bless you Mr. Pierce and thanks for the memories or at least the memories your statistical record allow me to imagine as they happened.
