About Willie Jones (third baseman)
Willie Edward Jones, nicknamed "Puddin' Head", was an American professional baseball third baseman who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies (1947–1959), Cleveland Indians (1959), and Cincinnati Reds (1959–1961). He batted and threw right-handed. He led the league in fielding percentage six times, in putouts for seven years (also tying a record), and twice each in assists and double plays.
