Earl Williams began the 1971 season as the Braves' starting third baseman. By the end of May, Darrell Evans took over at third, and Williams began seeing more playing time at first base. On May 23, Williams entered a 4-0 loss to the New York Mets as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and remained in the game at catcher. He ended up appearing in 72 games at catcher, committing eight errors and catching 28% of potential base stealers. Although he never developed into more than a poor defensive catcher, his offensive numbers- a .260 batting average, 33 home runs and 87 runs batted in- were enough to earn him 18 of 24 first place votes to become the first Brave to win the Rookie of the Year Award since Sam Jethroe in 1950. Earl Williams has hand signed this Atlanta Braves 8x10 Photo with 71 NL ROY inscription. Certificate of Authenticity from Athlon Sports Collectibles.
