In 1943, 1944 and 1945 Williams was a Naval pilot in WWII, flying combat missions. He aged from 24-26 during this time.
In 1950, he was injured and only played 89 games. His OBP and SLG would have easily led the league again, but not enough ABs to qualify.
In 1952 he only played the first 6 games of the season and in 1953 he only played the last 37 games of the season because he was recalled to serve in the Korean War in between.
In the six games in the 1952 season before serving in the Korean War he had a .400/.500/.900 slash line.
In the 37 games he played to finish the 1953 season after returning from the Korean War he had a .407/.509/..901 slash line.
In short, every season Williams had enough ABs to qualify, he led the league in OBP and SLG from 1941-1954. In the one season he did not qualify due to injury, his OBP and SLG was still higher than the official league leader.
