Biographical Information

Art Lilly led the Western International League with 100 runs in 1942 and 141 runs in 1947. Lilly's playing career ran from 1939-1956. Never a productive hitter in his time in the high minors, he was a dominant slugger in tiny southern low minor league circuits in the early 1950s.

Lilly would later scout for the Chicago Cubs, Kansas City A's, Philadelphia Phillies ( -1969), and Kansas City Royals (1970-1982).

Lilly also managed in Mexico in the Winter Leagues.
