It's half way through the month of May and Chicago's Billy Williams continues his feverish attack on NL pitching. Williams leads the league with a .442 BA and has hit 17 HR in 24 games. Only San Francisco's Bobby Bonds' impressive 32 RBI has kept Williams from leading in all 3 Triple Crown categories. Their teammates, Ferguson Jenkins and Juan Marichal top all pitchers with 6 wins. St. Louis's Lou Brock and Houston's Joe Morgan continue to steal bases at a historic pace.
