I'd even pay money to go back and see that awful Bucs team! At least I could have seen my old buddy Clyde Sukeforth out there coaching!
Billy and Preach really didn't reach their fullest capacity until they moved over to Bedford and Sullivan. Roe had some success, but Cox seemed to require special circumstances to perform his best. I don't know what happened once he made the move to Brooklyn, but it sure helped out. He wasn't particularly close to any of his teammates aside from Furillo, but there was definitely a mutual respect felt between Billy and his teammates, as I have happily learned from those players who outlived him.
