It’s no small wonder Billy Williams became known as of the greatest two-strike hitters in baseball. He had two strikes against him growing up in Whistler, Alabama.
Just before he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987 Williams revisited the town he grew up in. The boarded up shanties, desolate dirt roads and abandoned shelters brought to mind the inner strength, faith and purpose of the humble congregations that belied the frailty if the makeshift structures.
One of the most popular Cubs of all time, and now an executive for the team, Williams reminisces about his early years, his Hall of Fame career and his five decades in the game in this inspirational autobiography.
