Dick Williams Stats

Dick Williams was born on Tuesday, May 7, 1929, in St. Louis, Missouri. Williams was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 10, 1951, with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Dick Williams baseball stats page.

"Dick Williams spent so many years waiting for the call from the Hall of Fame, the final few minutes were especially excruciating for the man who took the A's to World Series titles in 1972 and 1973. 'They said they would call and let me know the results around 7 a.m.,' Williams said Monday. 'Then 7 a.m. came, no call. At 7:01, no call. At 7:02, my wife and I looked at each other, no call. Between 7:02 and 7:03, the phone rang and it blew our minds. We're just so thankful. Norma and I broke down and cried.'" - Columnist Susan Slusser in the San Francisco Chronicle (12/04/2007)
