Bill was an excellent hitting and fielding 3rd baseman, playing most of his career with the Cleveland Indians. Not only did he hit for average and power, he was considered one of the best glovemen of his time. He holds the distinction of being the second player of the modern era to hit 3 triples in one game (July, 1903). He also held the longest AL hitting streak in the modern baseball era (29 games) until Hall of Famer, Ty Cobb broke it in 1911 with 40 games.
