Glenn Williams

[William Malone]

Glenn David Williams was born on July 18, 1977 in Australia. 

The Atlanta Braves signed him as an international free agent in 1993. He reached Double-A, but was released in 2000. Williams was signed to a minor league deal by the Toronto Blue Jays. He played four full seasons in Triple-A with the Toronto organization, but never reached the Majors. The Minnesota Twins signed him to a minor league deal, and Williams finally got the big league call-up in 2005.

He played 13 games for the Twins, and had a hit in every single one of them. Williams was 17-for-40 (.425) in the big leagues, legging out one double and driving in two runs. These were his only 13 games in the Majors. He spent all of 2006 and 2007 with the Rochester Red Wings.

Williams went back to Australia after retiring, and began coaching in their professional league. He transitioned to executive roles, and was named the league's CEO and commissioner in 2021. As of 2025, he still holds that job.
