Billy Southworth

WELCOME

The family of 'Billy the Kid' Southworth, daughter, Carole Watson, and grand-children, Cheryl, Shelley, Eric, and Evan wish to welcome you to this web-site created by the Mileur Media Group,

and to whom we are very grateful for such a generous tribute.

Billy Southworth's 'stats' as a player and manager are capsulated for easy access and as this site matures there will be photos throughout his life in his profession as well as a father and family man.

Determination, tenacity and a deep devotion for the game of baseball created successes for Billy Southworth that led him to enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Kindest regards,

Carole
