Billy Leo Williams
He played in the major leagues from 1959 to 1976.

I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!  Have you read The Baseball Same Game? |

Williams was a fine player and can make a claim to being one of the best players to ever perform in a Cubbies uniform, Maybe 2nd only to Cap Anson.

Anson had 200 more RCAA than Williams, but gets 250 deducted for setting back the course of baseball 50 years with his racist tendencies
that puts Billy up to #1 |

Rob Neyer had a column over the summer that showed that over the last 50 years, the 3-4 batting combination with the most longevity, by far, was Billy Williams/Ron Santo, who batted 3-4 together in 1,231 games, far more than No. 2 Ripken-Murray. (The rest, with some suprises: Mays/McCovey third, Baerga/Belle and Puckett/Hrbek tied for fourth, Oliva/Killebrew sixth, Clemente/Stargell seventh, Cedeno/Watson eighth, Bonds/Kent ninth, and Mathews/Aaron tenth). Santo and Williams should be together in Cooperstown, too.
