-"Bill Stoneman played for my Industrial Fastball Team after leaving the EXPO'S he lived in town. He was playing right field a line shot went almost to the fence, the guy was trotting to first Bill picked that ball up and gunned him out at first by two full steps, what an arm :) "
Bill was third in strikeouts in the National League in 1971, behind Tom Seaver and Ferguson Jenkins.
