Stan Williams - BR Bullpen (619 words) |
 | Stan Williams was a pitcher who spent 14 years in the big leagues, primarily with two high-profile teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. |
| While Williams appeared in 35 games, only 15 of them were starts as Roger Craig and Danny McDevitt had more starts to round out the rotation. |
| Although Williams, was a mainstay of the staff, the Dodger pitching was deep enough that they could afford to trade him to the New York Yankees in 1963 for Bill Skowron. |

| Williams was a hulking 6'4" 225-lb righthander with blistering speed and teammate Don Drysdale's pitching personality. |
| Williams won the second game of the 1959 tie-breaking playoff with the Braves to give the Dodgers the first playoff victory in their history. |
| He was a winner for the next two years, but his streak of wildness in a relief role cost the Dodgers the '62 pennant in the playoff with the Giants and Williams was traded to the Yankees for Bill Skowron. |
