I loved Billy Williams his rookie year. I was a little kid, but there was something about the way he swung & ran.
He was smooth.
I even still followed him in the box scores when he went to the A's.
I got to meet him when I was around 10. I still have the ball he signed, but I've lost the signed picture.
He was the reason the Cubs considered Brock tradeable. They should gave gotten way more than Broglio.
