Billy Williams (umpire)

[1] He also was the home plate umpire for the 1967 no-hitter hurled by Houston Astros pitcher Don Wilson against the Atlanta Braves.

On June 9, 1987, he was hit in the right elbow by a wild pitch delivered by Chicago Cubs pitcher Rick Sutcliffe.

Then on June 29, 1987, Williams' leg was broken on a play at the plate in an Atlanta Braves against the San Francisco Giants game at Candlestick Park.

In a rundown following a squeeze play, Braves pitcher Zane Smith fielded the bunt and ran to the plate to tag sliding Giants outfielder Joel Youngblood.

[4] At first, Williams hoped to get back to work by the middle of the next month, to complete what he planned to be his last season, however he never umpired another game after that.
