Andrew "String Bean" Williams (birthdate unknown) was a Negro Leagues pitcher and manager, playing many of those seasons for the Indianapolis ABCs and the Brooklyn Royal Giants.
By 1926, in Williams later years, one paper appears to list Williams as a submarine pitcher.[4]
Williams received votes listing him on the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier player-voted poll of the Negro Leagues' best players ever.[5]
