On April 9, 1969, Billy Williams hit four doubles in the same game, matching the National League record for doubles in a game. The Cubs lost the game 7-4. Williams's three homers were part of a six-home run day for him, finishing with nine total hits in an 11-7 win over the Cardinals. He had been 0-for-3 before hitting his third homer, which came in the fourth inning. After the game, Williams said, "I just wanted to get a base hit." The Cubs played in Wrigley Field through at least 1975, when they moved into Chicago's new Comiskey Park. Williams retired after that season, having played 19 years in the majors. He is one of only two players (Joe DiMaggio) to play in both the American and National Leagues during their careers. The other player is Alex Rodriguez.
