My oddest Jimy Williams memory was being nine at a Jays game at Memorial Stadium and asking my grandfather why he was spelled Jimmy. He didn't know, so he told me that Canadians are thriftier and that he was Wiliams but the team gave him an l for the 96-wins last year.

Jimy Williams passed away last Friday. He was an extraordinary evaluator, infield expert, baseball guru, the man that sold Bobby Cox on Chipper Jones(that no. 1 pick in the draft was questioned by some) and father. Jerry Remy and I loved office infielding talks with him.
