Nineteen twenty-one, and the Browns finally had a left-handed storm they could point to. Ken Williams hit .347 for St. Louis with twenty-four home runs and one hundred seventeen ribbies — a Sportsman's Park summer that sounded like thunder before the real weather arrived. Twenty steals rode along for the quiet business. The three frames ahead keep the Brownie rise loud.
