"It had been said that if you could combine the father’s fielding prowess with the son’s hitting ability, you’d have had one of the better catchers of the early 20th Century. When Billy Jr. played in the 1940 World Series with the Tigers, he cemented the Sullivans as the first father-son duo to appear in a Fall Classic, following Billy Sr.’s 1906 appearance with the White Sox." - Sportswriter Dan Cichalski on UniWatchBlog.com (02/04/2011, 'A Trove of Interesting Paperwork', Source)
