Our guest this week is Billy Sample. Billy came out of James Madison University and was drafted in the 10th round of the free agent draft in 1976 by the Texas Rangers. He was a career .270 hitter for the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves. Billy is a mystery, since he was a very productive hitter and left the game in his early 30s which was rather young. He hit in the .280s his last two years. Billy was an outstanding line-drive hitter, who could run the bases well. Listen in as Billy discusses his career and talks about his early exit in the Major Leagues when we travel Back When There Was Baseball.
