Dewey Williams

Dewey Edgar Williams (February 5, 1916 – March 19, 2000) nicknamed "Dee", was an American professional baseball player.

He threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and weighed 160 pounds (73 kg), a slender frame for a catcher.

In June 1944, he was acquired by the Cubs after he batted .313 in 48 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the top-level International League.

As a pinch hitter in Game 5, Williams struck out against Detroit Tigers' ace left-hander Hal Newhouser.
