There's been some debate in the Tribune about "who is the greatest (left fielder, shortstop, etc) for the Cubs and Sox. The question was left field for the Cubs and Billy Williams is the hands down answer of course. The Rookie of the Year in 1961, Williams went on to hit 20 or more home runs in 13 consecutive seasons. The Hall-of-Famer’s best all-around year was 1970, when he led the league in runs and hits, batting .322 with 42 homers and 129 runs batted in. He established a National League ironman record by playing in 1,117 consecutive games and ranks third in franchise history in career hits and home runs. So that got me wondering how the heck he wasn't MVP in 1970. Guess who was? And guess who was the MVP for the AL that year ? The answer was a surprise to me. Hint: He was on the Orioles.
