Three times he's been the A.l . king in Complete Games, and has topped the league in Wins, -Strikeouts and E.R.A. Billy is one of the big reasons why the White o Sox have' consistently been a first division ball club. When the chips are down, up pops Billy with a crucial win.J?obi;i is one of the most z active and energetic hurlers in the history of the game. He loves to ; work and he appears to thrive on it. In the last ten years, the Phillie ' flash has averaged 20 wins per season. Four times, Robin has walked « off with the Most Wins in the N.L. and was strikeout leader twice. " In 1950, he was the big factor in bringing the pennant to Philadelphia.^
