William Joseph Benson was born March 5, 1988, in Hinsdale, IL.

He excelled in baseball and football while in high school.

The Twins drafted Benson out of high school in the second round of the 2006 MLB draft.

Benson was an outfielder who played six seasons in the Twins minor league system. After rosters expended in September of 2011, he was called up to the Twins. He played 21 games, nearly every game, but apparently did not impress enough as he never made it back to MLB.

He played two more seasons in the Twins minor league system then moved on to the Rangers, Marlins, Mets, and Braves. Benson signed with the Twins as a free agent in November of 2015, but was released after spring training.
