Post Baseball Life
After retiring from baseball, Hallahan worked as a supervisor for General Aniline and Film Co (GAF). in Johnson City, New York. He lived on Davis Street on the West Side of Binghamton where he led a very quiet life. He was a local legend to the young kids in that neighborhood who frequently begged him to show them his World Series watches and rings. He always obliged. Wild Bill would attend Little League games at nearby Recreation Park to cheer on the neighborhood kids. The field there is dedicated in his honor.
He died at age 78 in Binghamton.
