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.
