25 For 25: Chicago Cubs 1920-1944 By Solanus on Mar 12, 2021, 8:27am CST 1
I am back with another set of 25 For 25 teams, this time for the years 1920-1944. This is the fourth set that I have published this cycle, starting with 1995-2019 and continuing through 1970-1994 & 1945-1969 (I will post squads for 1895-1919 after I get done with these); if you are interested in those, you can view them here.
Basically the same rules as before: 25 players, 25 seasons, one player from each season, no more or less; each player can be chosen for a team once (not multiple times in a single era or multiple eras as listed above); the player will be chosen at the position that he played the most that season (outfielders use combined outfield games; starting pitchers have as many or more starts as relief appearances); two players each for C/1B/2B/3B/SS, six outfielders, six starters, & three relievers (pitcher distribution is a departure from later eras (5S/4R), as it was less common
Billy Williams unique 4-hit game By JohnW53 on Feb 19, 2021, 4:40am CST +
While batting .290/.361/.492, Williams made
2,510 hits.
Thirty times, he had 4 in a game, including 8 in which he went 4 for 4.
Twice, both in 1969, all 4 of his hits were for extra bases.
On Wednesday, April 9, in the second game of the season, Williams smacked 2 doubles, walked, then smacked 2 more doubles, as the Cubs thumped the visiting Phillies, 11-3.
It was a different story when he did it again, on Friday, Sept. 5, in the opener of a weekend series against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.

STRANDED TWICE, CIRCLED TWICE
After Steve Blass retired the first 2 Cubs, Williams doubled to center field. Ernie Banks then popped up to end the inning.
