Willie "Puddin Head"Jones came out of South Carolina to become
one of the finest third basemen of his day and enjoyed a 13 year tenure
with the Philadelphia Phillies (1947-1959). He smacked 190 career
home runs and over 1,500 base hits. He was a better fielder than a hitter,
however, and was one of the best fielding 3Bs of his day. Unfortunately,
he had his best years before the Gold Glove Award's inception in 1957.
He played on 2 losing World Series teams: ('50 Phillies & '61 Reds) and
like J. Wyrostek, he made the 1950 and '51 NL All-star teams.
