BillyCarter

BIO:

Billy Carter’s legacy was not built on hitting home runs, nor his legendary ability for hitting line drives to all fields.  For it was his pitching and defense that defined his career, during which he helped underdog teams like Hal Manufacturing, Bohemian Lounge, Hauck’s Cafe and Simpson’s Cafe play spoiler against established powerhouses like Century Tire, a team Hauck’s Cafe upset in the 1972 ASA City Tournament finals.  He also pitched Simpson’s Cafe to a Metro title in 1976 to earn his second trip to the ASA National Tournament.  Two of his most notable accomplishments came in back-to-back seasons while competing in the White Oak Major League when he won Most Valuable Player honors in 1973 and the batting title in 1974.  He was named to several All-City teams during his career, and was named to the Greater Cincinnati “All-Century” in 2000.
