RIP ,Billy
we just lost a lot of baseball history.He pitched across the period when baseball was changing on every front.He faced the stars of the 1940's who were transitioning into the '50s and he pitched long enough to last into early 1960's.He was one tough lefty on the mound.Never quite put up HOF statistics but you knew he was going to give his all for you out on the mound.so long,Billy.

I just checked Pierce's career stats - 211 wins, which is not too shabby! But, what really impresses me is 193 complete games (44.6% of the games he started) - times have sure changed in this respect!

You could also throw in the fact of pitching for some not so hot teams. It's hard to say he's a HOF pitcher but then again there's certainly arguments for it.
I'm pulling for Buehrle to pitch another 5-6 years an automatic 10-11 wins a year it will put him around 250-260 and even that may be iffy.
