1961 Topps, Billy Williams

Card No. 141

Of all the cards I inherited from my dad's boyhood collection, this Billy Williams rookie card might take the cake....It's a tad miscut vertically but otherwise it's in awesome condition....Played 16 of his 18 big league seasons for the Cubs, swatting 392 homers in a Chicago uniform...Only Sammy Sosa and Ernie Banks hit more homers as a Cub....Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987 on his sixth try....Billy cracked 25 homers with 86 RBIs for Chicago in 1961, earning him N.L. ROY honors.
