Earl Williams (1970s catcher)
Earl Craig Williams, Jr. (July 14, 1948 – January 28, 2013) was an American Major League Baseball player. Though he never played catcher in the minor leagues, he earned the National League's Rookie of the Year award at that position in 1971.
==Early years==
Williams was born in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in East Orange, and then Montclair, where he was an exceptional athlete at Montclair High School.〔Weber, Bruce. ("Earl Williams, Baseball Slugger, Dies at 64" ), ''The New York Times'', February 1, 2013. Accessed February 2, 2013.〕 He earned a scholarship to Ithaca College in upstate New York for basketball.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Earl Williams )〕 He chose baseball instead when he was drafted by the Milwaukee Braves in the first round of the 1965 Major League Baseball August Legion Draft.
As Williams was a pitcher in high school, he made eight starts his first professional season with the Gulf Coast League Braves, compiling a 1-0 record and 3.10 earned run average. When not pitching, Williams played first base. The idea of Williams as a pitcher was abandoned after the 1966 season, and Williams spent most of his time in the Braves' farm system either at first or in the outfield. In 1970, he also played some third base. He debuted with the Atlanta Braves that September, and batted .368 in ten games split pretty evenly between first and third base.
