Billy Connors was purchased from the Cubs on August 20th, 1967. Connors finished the '67 season in the big leagues pitching 13 innings with a 6.23 ERA. 1968 wasn't any better. Billy spent most of the season in the minors, but was given a second shot in late July. After 14 innings Connors had given up 14 runs in 14 innings and was demoted in late August. He finished his career in the minors and retired after the 1970 season. After his playing days, Billy was much more successful as a coach and developing young pitchers with the Yankees. Mr. Connors passed away on June 17th, 2018.
Billy never signed TTM and I was always looking for an upgrade on eBay. There seems to be plenty of Connors balls out there, just not very many good ones. I'm hoping I can upgrade again at some point, but at least I have something.
