Many people talk justifiably about the danger of a third baseman playing in for bunt...only to have the hitter swing away.
I once had the chance to ask a first base coach from that generation about a similar threat--a first baseman, holding a runner on, with a powerful left hander swinging as hard as he could, only 90 feet away.
"Who was the one people feared most--McCovey, Stargell, Bill White, Powell, Yastrzemski, Jackson?"
"Oh, that's easy," he said. "Billy Williams--by a good margin. There were guys who hit it farther--but NOBODY hit it harder."
