As a player-manager during the 1920s and 1930s, Billy "The Kid" played a key role in orchestrating arguably the most successful era in Rochester baseball history. Between 1928 and 1932, he batted .335. In his first stint as manager from 1928-31, he skippered the Wings into four consecutive Junior World Series, winning titles in 1930 and 1931. He returned to guide the Wings in 1939-40, capturing the Governors' Cup in 1939 and posting the league's best record in 1940. Southworth went on to win two World Series titles with St. Louis, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in a Veterans Committee vote on Dec. 3, 2007.
