His Kind of Town
Ozzie Guillen wants to manage the White Sox.
Oh, how Ozzie Guillen hungers for that White Sox job now. Talk about icing on the cake.
"Like I was telling my wife and my kids the other day," the 39-year-old Florida Marlins third-base coach said over the weekend at Yankee Stadium, "I don't want to be a manager for a couple of years. I want to be a manager like Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa. I want to be a manager for a long, long time."
And not just any team's manager.
"I belong to the White Sox," he declared.
Not just belongs with, but to, take notice.
I remember taking a tour of the new Comiskey Park in the mid 90's, and hearing how everyone who worked there loved Ozzie Guillen. He used to go to the reception desk and answer the phone for fun. I don't know if a fun loving guy like that has the right temperament for managing, but his connections with the White Sox are certainly going to get him an interview.
