The decorated former slugger said a routine physical revealed the disease.
“He might be the toughest guy I’ve come across in baseball,” Melvin said. “We know that he’s gonna give this his fiercest effort of his life , and he’s going to beat it.”
For his part, Williams, 57, reportedly said that he felt “as good as I’ve felt in 20 years.” The cancer was found, according to reports, because according to Williams a physical showed he had a low number of red blood cells. He said scans showed that the cancer had not spread. Know as “Matt the Bat,” Williams came into the Major Leagues with the San Francisco Giants and became a star for the team. Williams hit 30 or more homers and drove in 90 or more runs six times through the team. And, in 1994, he led the National League with 43 homers and 96 RBs. He played for the Giants through 1996, spent 1997 with Cleveland, and then suited up for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 1998-2003 helping that team win the 2001 World Series.
