Williams appeared in three games for the A’s in May of 1977, going 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI after toiling for five years in the Oakland and Kansas City Minor League systems.
But it seems he was sent back to the Minors right after his short three day stint in the Majors, where he’d play a full season for San Jose of the Pacific Coast League.
But then the mystery is that after that action in 1977, nothing. Not only did he not play again in the Majors, but it seems he never played in the Minor Leagues again as well.
Anyone know what happened to him? He was only 23 years old at the time, and his Minor League season was a good one, hitting .277 with 88 runs batted in and 20 stolen bases.
I looked online and couldn’t find a thing.
All told, he spent three days as a Major League player, with those three games in May.
On top of everything else, I’m intrigued by the fact that he also had a nickname, “Cadillac”, which makes him all that more interesting to me!
