DICK WILLIAMS
Richard Hirschfield Williams
Born May 7, 1929 in St. Louis, Missouri

Dick managed for 22 years in the major leagues and played for 13 more prior to that. He won the American League pennant in 1967 as Manager of the Boston Red Sox and the National League pennant in 1984 with the San Diego Padres. Dick also managed the powerful Oakland A's team to 3 straight AL pennants, capturing the World Series Championships in 1972 and 1973. He ranks just behind Tommy Lasorda in most wins as a manager. Surely worthy of the Hall of Fame, Dick has spent his entire life pursuing the wonderful game of baseball.

BeABetterHitter.Com would like to welcome Coach Dick Williams to our staff, and are looking forward to the great instruction he can offer.
