William De Kova "Bill" White (born January 28, 1934 in Lakewood, Florida) is a former professional baseball first baseman who played for the New York and San Francisco Giants (1956, 1958), St. Louis Cardinals (1959–65, 1969) and Philadelphia Phillies (1966–68). White became a full-time sportscaster after his playing career ended, serving for 18 years as a play-by-play man and color analyst for New York Yankees television and radio broadcasts. In 1989 White was hired to be President of the National League to replace Bart Giamatti, who had been elected to succeed Peter Ueberroth as Commissioner. White served in that role until he retired in 1994. ==Playing career== As a minor-leaguer, Bill White was the second black player to ever play for a Carolina League team – the Danville Leafs (1953). Percy Miller Jr. broke the color barrier for that league in 1951. In his 13-season major league career, Bill White batted .286 with 202 home runs and 870 RBIs in 1673 games. He was also one of the top defensive first basemen of his time, winning seven straight Gold Glove Awards (1960–66). White batted and threw left-handed. White is also one of the few MLB players that have hit at least .300 and driven in at least 100 runs in three consecutive seasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill White (first baseman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
