Billy Sullivan Stats

Billy Sullivan was born on Sunday, October 23, 1910, in Chicago, Illinois. Sullivan was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 9, 1931, with the Chicago White Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Billy Sullivan baseball stats page.

"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)
