Looking deeper into what we've spoken about already, and I really think it boils down to media coverage. Williams wasn't well liked, at the time, by the media. He was gruff and strictly business when it came to the game. His obsessive nature with hitting, is even further proof of that.

It is surprising though, because outside of his personality, you would think he would be idolized. He was a war hero, through and through. Imagine if someone like Mantle had Williams' military resume? Mantle's rookie would probably be even more exorbitant in terms of price.
