Haha!…On a lighter note, the Cubbies had a Billy Williams bobblehead giveaway at Wrigley on Saturday to not only honor the great Cubbie OF’er, but also to reward their lovable fans with a heartfelt gesture of appreciation. The only problem was that instead of his correct jersey #26 on the back of the animated little figurine, it was adorned with the #1…Any Cubbie fan worth their salt knows that #1 belongs to Cardinal HOF great, Ozzie Smith…But it gets worse than that…There’s a towering flagpole atop of which flies a very large flag at Wrigley Field that clearly displays William’s name along with his #26. You’d think that someone even marginally associated with the Cub’s organization would have noticed it at some point in the last 36 years since his number was retired…Haha! Oh well, my dad could never even remember to say old Billy’s name correctly. He always referred to him as “The Great Willy Billiams”…Haha!
