Williams really should get credit for the Launch Angle approach. But, I think he would be appalled in how it is being applied.
I remember reading that and also remember him asking mark McGwire at the all star game in Boston if he ever smelled it and McGwire said yes. Teddy Ballgame definitely invented launch angle even though he didn't coin the term and he would absolutely go berserk watching some of the approaches now!
