"When the Yankees obtained Walt Williams during spring training, they not only acquired an established veteran hitter, but also one of the league's most popular performers. Walt is one of baseball's most recognizable players, and his easy-going personality, combined with a pride and determination to do well, makes him a fan favorite.
The right-hand hitting Williams, 30, batted .304 in 1969 and has always been the owner of a quick bat. Originally signed by Houston, he spent most of his big league career with the White Sox before spending last season with Cleveland. As an outfielder or as an offensive player, Walt's number 13 will be seen a great deal this season."
