Today in Chicago Cubs history, we flash back to the 1968 season where Billy Williams crushed not one, not two but three home runs en route to an 8-1 victory over the New York Mets at Wrigley Field.
With that impressive effort, Williams improved his season slash to .294/.342/.509, driving in six runs on the afternoon. In this contest, Williams and Ernie Banks both took a young reliever by the name of Nolan Ryan deep while their teammate Bill Hands tossed a complete game for the Cubs, earning his 16th win of the season in the process.
