Williams to Manage Angels End Exile After World Series Runs
Dick Williams, who led the Oakland A’s to consecutive titles, agreed to end his baseball exile and join the California Angels to replace fired manager Bobby Winkles. Angels GM Harry Dalton announced Williams will report Monday under a through 1977 contract as Whitey Herzog serves as interim for the Rangers series. Williams, 43, previously tied to a Yankees offer blocked by Oakland owner Charlie Finley, justifies a high salary as a top manager.
