Williams was a superstar with the St. Louis Browns from 1918-27 and is listed as the first 30-30 man in baseball. In 1922, his Brownies lost the American League pennant but a single game, the closed the team ever got to a World Series until 1944. This Williams last name only bat is most assuredly Ken Williams due to the shape and dimensions. As for the Extra Special model, this was the top of the line model , the finest offered by Zinn Beck. Not to mention, this bat is a beauty.
