}} William Ray Howerton (December 12, 1921 – December 18, 2001) was an American professional baseball player. An outfielder, he appeared in Major League Baseball in 247 games played during all or part of four seasons ({{Baseball year|1949}}–{{Baseball year|1952}}), for the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Giants. The native of Lompoc, California, batted left-handed, threw right-handed; he stood {{convert|5|ft|11|in}} tall and weighed {{convert|185|lb}}. Howerton grew up on a ranch in Santa Ynez, California. After graduation from Santa Ynez High School, he attended St. Mary's College of California.[1] He signed with the Boston Red Sox in 1943 and played three seasons in their farm system before being acquired by the Cardinals' organization. In September 1949, after Howerton batted .329 with 111 runs batted in for the Triple-A Columbus Red Birds, he was recalled by the Cardinals for a late-season trial. In {{baseball year|1950}}, he made the Redbird roster out of spring training and had his most successful MLB season, appearing in 110 games and collecting 88 hits (38 for extra bases) and 59 runs batted in. He was traded to the Pirates on June 15, 1951, in a blockbuster deal that included fellow Redbirds Howie Pollet, Ted Wilks and Joe Garagiola, and played in 80 games for Pittsburgh, batting .274 in his last full MLB season. After retiring, Howerton entered the trucking business in California.[1] He died in Blakely, Pennsylvania, at age 80. His son, also named Bill, was the head baseball coach of the University of Scranton from 1987 to 2002.[2] References1. ^1 Obituary, from HowertonHeritage.com {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723132657/http://www.howertonheritage.com/obitWRH.htm |date=July 23, 2008 }} 2. ^University of Scranton official site {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120117013244/http://athletics.scranton.edu/sports/bsb/Program_History/basealltimeresults.pdf |date=January 17, 2012 }} External links{{Baseballstats |mlb= |espn= |br=h/howerbi01 |fangraphs= |cube= |brm=howert001wil}}
