New Statue going up at Wrigley September 7 - AnnoCatuli - 03-31-2010

Billy Williams will be honored with a statue at Wrigley field.

The uproar has started with a few who have heard this, because they feel Santo deserves the statue first

Who is Billy Williams?

I may sound like a dick here, but I don't think we need any more statues around Wrigley, no offense to Billy.

Just some out fielder the Cubs had back in the 60s

They're probably going in order. Williams joined the Cubs a year earlier than Santo.

Why, Billy Williams is in the HOF and had his number retired before Santo.

I think even Santo would want a statue of Billy and even Fergie before his own.

Exactly. I love Santo and all, but this over done admiration that puts him as a player over Ernie and Billy in a lot of fan's mind, is kind of irritating in situations like these. Santo was a great player and likely should be a HOF, but Billy Williams was way better. In terms of best Cubs players ever, Santo doesn't even crack the top 5.

Personality wise, he's in a league of his own. But as a player?

Jesus Christ.

Also, Santo shouldn't have a statue or his number retired. Not until (if) the HOF calls, that is.
