		During cross-examination, defense counsel asked Pierce to explain the inconsistency between his statement made on March 12, 1994 that he was intoxicated on the night of the fire, and his testimony at the preliminary hearing that he was not drunk that night.
		After he passed the man, Pierce "saw a light in the direction of the Stamper house which [Pierce] thought was a porch light." On his way to his house, Pierce saw "a loud old truck." He arrived home around 11:40 p.m.

		Pierce had a great slider to go with his fastball and he was the White Sox's top pitcher in their 'Go Go White Sox' years.
		Pierce's only pitching flaw was when he had a 0-2 count on the batter; he came in right over the middle of the plate with a fastball and more often than not the batter would tee off and whack a long home run.
		Billy Pierce had a career record of 211-169 including 38 shutouts - he also had 37 career saves - along with a fine lifetime ERA of 3.27.

		Pierce's main credential as a HOFer, in my opinion, is that his ERA is 0.62 better than league for his career.
		I don't think Billy Pierce is HOF quality, and I certainly don't think he should go in the HOF before John, Kaat, and Blyleven (especially Blyleven).
		Pierce had 1999 Ks in his career in addition to his fine ERA differential - at the time he retired that was a lot of Ks PW, I think you were right the first time.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Billy Pierce
		Billy Pierce was a star, but not of the magnitude to which I would cast my vote for him (if I had one:D) for the HOF.
		Pierce only won 20 games twice, and while he pitched for a light-hitting team, he also pitched in a super pitcher's park.
		Pierce's ERA was compiled in the most favorable pitchers park in the AL, for the most part, so his ERA being 0.62 better than league is not as an impressive accomplishment as Blyleven's and Guidry's.

		So, there were enough pitchers ahead of him in RSAA over the course of his career to give every one of those teams 3 of them, except for one that only had to settle for 2.
		Compare that to Pierce, who had only 3 pitchers ahead of him in the entire majors, with one of them (Robin Roberts) doing it by a margin of just 1 RSAA.
		Pierce was closer to the #1 spot over the course of his career than Hunter was to getting into the top dozen.

		There was a time when I was Billy Pierce, the high-kicking lefthanded pitcher of the Chicago White Sox (211 career wins, 169 losses).
		Stylish for the way Billy would raise his right foot high as he stepped into a pitch, adding some force to his throws and baffling a batter's view, and nervy for the way he'd throw a curve when he was three balls down in the count and the bases were full.
		"Better than Billy Pierce?" My father was caught for a moment between truth and kindness; and, after a moment's contemplation, conjured up a reasonably truthful form of kindness.

		The seven-time All-Star was the ace of the "Go-Go Sox" of the 1950s, winning 15 or more games eight times, and leading the American League in strike-outs in 1953 (186), ERA in 1955 (1.97) and wins in 1957 (20).
		So Pierce and family moved from Birmingham, Michigan, to Chicago's south suburban Evergreen Park and began a new life.
