[edit] Biographical Information
Bill Voss was a lefthanded-hitting outfielder who played from 1965 to 1972 with several major league clubs. He was in 133 games with the 1969 California Angels, hitting .261 and playing as the regular right-fielder. He was also the regular right-fielder for the 1971 Milwaukee Brewers, hitting 10 home runs in 303 at-bats.
While Voss had a major league batting average of .227, it should be noted that he played during the second dead-ball era when batting averages were at their lows. As a fielder, he played mostly right field, with good range.
In the minors his best year was 1967, when he hit .320 for Indianapolis in 92 games. With Lynchburg in 1967 he had 18 home runs and 11 triples.
Through 2009 he is one of only two major league players with the last name Voss, the other one being Alex Voss.
