1970 Topps #395 Walt Williams
About Walt Williams
The fourth-series #395 pictures Williams with the White Sox after a 1969 that left him one of six American League hitters above .300 and the first White Sox player to do so in six seasons. He collected 143 hits in 135 games, playing the outfield in 111 of them. He grounded into five double plays all season.
Walter Allen Williams was an outfielder who broke in with the Houston Colt .45's in 1964 and played parts of six seasons with the Chicago White Sox, where his hustling style included a June 1967 dive for a ball rolling toward the Red Sox dugout. Signed out of San Francisco's Galileo High School, he won the Texas League batting title with Tulsa in 1965 and returned to the majors in 1967 after a trade from St. Louis. His best season came in 1969, when he hit .304 and finished sixth in the American League batting race while striking out only 33 times. Traded to Cleveland in 1972 and to the Yankees in 1974, he closed his major league career in 1975 with a .270 average over 842 games. He later played in Japan and Mexico and managed in the minor leagues in the 1990s.
