Autographs of Dick Williams
Richard Hirschfeld Williams (May 7, 1929 – July 7, 2011) was an American left fielder, third baseman, manager, coach and front-office consultant in Major League Baseball (MLB). Known especially as a hard-driving, sharp-tongued manager from 1967 to 1969 and from 1971 to 1988, he led teams to three American League pennants, one National League pennant, and two World Series triumphs. He is one of nine managers to win pennants in both major leagues, and joined Bill McKechnie in becoming only the second manager to lead three franchises to the Series (Bruce Bochy, in 2023, became the third). He and Lou Piniella are the only managers in history to lead four teams to seasons of 90 or more wins. Williams was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008 following his election by the Veterans Committee.
Williams was born on May 7, 1929, in St. Louis, Missouri, and lived there until age 13, when his family moved to Pasadena, California. He attended Pasadena High School (which was then part of Pasadena Junior College, now Pasadena City College), where he was All-State in baseball and also played football and basketball (1946-47). In 2001, he was inducted into the Pasadena City College Hall of Fame.
Just out of high school, Williams signed his first professional contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. From 1947 to 1956, he played all or parts of each season in the Dodgers minor league system. In 1948, playing Class C baseball, he had a .335 batting average with 16 home runs; however, Williams hit only .207 in Double-A baseball that year. A year later, again playing Double-A ball, he hit .310, with 23 home runs, 114 runs batted in (RBI) and 109 runs scored. In partial seasons playing Triple-A baseball he never hit more than .278. In 1955, his final full year in the minor leagues, he played Double-A ball for the Fort Worth Cats of the Texas League, hitting .317, with 24 home runs.
