gold star for USAHOF

249. Ken Williams

Ken Williams was a late bloomer of sorts, some by his own play, some by circumstance.

Ken Williams' contract was purchased from Portland of the Pacific Coast League in June of 1917, but he was drafted into the military in early 1918, so it was not until 1919 where he played 65 Games with a .300 Batting Average.  That wasn't bad, but e a breakout season the year after was about to come.
