At 88, Billy Williams still lights up the baseball world—Hall of Famer, Cubs legend, and a living monument to grit and grace. With a record 14 consecutive seasons played, 426 homers, and a 1972 NL batting title, his name is etched in Cooperstown. Yet he’s haunted by the decline of Black players in MLB, lamenting the shift toward football and basketball. Still, he beams at rising stars like Braden Montgomery and Pete Crow-Armstrong, seeing echoes of Lou Brock and urging young athletes to believe in “Yes, I can.” A diehard Cubs fan, he’s still at the ballpark, sharing wisdom and passion that bridges generations.
