 Though
he spent much of his career playing
Robin to Ernie Banks' Batman, Billy
Williams is remembered as one of the
greatest sluggers of baseball's
Golden Age in the 1960's, and one of
the greatest sluggers in Chicago
Cubs history... >>>Book
Chicago Cubs Legend Billy Williams for Your Event
Part
of Williams' B-Legend status can be
attributed to the fact that Williams
was a soft-spoken player who simply
hit the ball and hit the ball hard.
Williams' bat was more than capable
of saying everything he needed to
say, and it voiced his opinions for
18 marvelous seasons. His
picture-perfect swing produced 2,711
hits, a.290 career average and 426
home runs.
The
six-time all-star was the National
League Rookie of the Year in 1961
and the “Sporting News” Player of
the Year in 1972, when he led the
league with a .333 batting average
while also hitting 37 home runs and
driving in 122 runs. He held the
National League mark for consecutive
games played (1,117) until surpassed
by Steve Garvey.
"Billy Williams is
the best hitter, day-in and day-out,
that I have ever seen. He's
unbelieveable. He didn't hit for
just one or two days, or one or two
weeks. He hit all the time."
— Cubs Shortstop Don Kessinger
