There's a picture of Billy in a Reds home uni on this site, but here are a couple of him in the road whites, for you completists out there. I guess these were taken at Connie Mack Stadium/Shibe Park, as Philly was as far east as the NL went in those days. (I don't know all the old parks by sight, but I'm excited to learn.)

(And yes, I said road whites. Apparently, when the Reds put pinstripes on their home unis in 1958, they turned the old white home uniforms into their road uniforms. Then they changed their minds and went back to the grey road unis for 1959. Then they changed their minds again and went back to the white road unis for '60. Clearly someone in the Cincinnati front office didn't have enough to do with his time.)
