New Statue going up at Wrigley September 7
#1
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.

They're probably going in order. Williams joined the Cubs a year earlier than Santo.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

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.

Yea, that's a better point.

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?

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