No Love Lost Between Williams and Waslewski
Gary Waslewski, a 26 year old right-hander from Kensington Connecticut, is profiled as he faces the St Louis Cardinals in game six of the World Series. He speaks of manager Dick Williams who repeatedly yells at him yet remains respected and liked. Waslewski recalls Williams urging him to stop experimenting and stay with the fast ball. He credits Williams with pushing him to the majors, though he notes the coach’s bark could be a sore point. Waslewski explains his modest major league path, his 5-6 start in Toronto, 2-2 with Boston, and his role after impressing in relief in game three. He respects Flood’s praise and aims to keep the ball down and throw strikes to avoid walks.
