So, you miss the sensory delights of live baseball, do you?
Just imagine how Billy Williams feels.
Seventeen and a half months. That’s how long the Cubs Hall of Famer, 82, has gone without the sights and sounds that have made his heart sing since he was a boy in Alabama.
“Baseball has been my life,” he said this week. “And if you don’t have it, it’s tough. It hurts. You miss it. I just miss it so much.”
Last March, Williams was a day or two away from a plane ride to Arizona, where he’d gone for spring training every year but one since 1957.
