?That?s the Crazy Guy!?- World Series-Winning Manager Once Revealed His Gut-Wrenching Experience of Being Misunderstood Throughout His Career

There have been many great players and managers in Major League Baseball. But the game of baseball has rarely seen someone who is as good a player as the manager. Interestingly enough, in Ozzie Guillen’s case, he had a better career as a manager than he had as a ballplayer.

As a player, Ozzie Guillen played shortstop for the White Sox. He was so good that he won the Rookie of the Year Award in his debut season. And nothing to say about his managerial career. As a White Sox manager, Guillen ended almost a century-old title drought for the American League side.

But it is a pity that people misunderstood his character for not being a nice guy in the game. A few years ago, the legendary White Sox manager revealed his gut-wrenching experience when people judged and called him a crazy guy.

While talking to Graham Bensinger in an exclusive interview, Ozzie Guillen expressed his emotion over how people misunderstood him. The former White Sox manager said he has always been nice to women, and never had any drinking problems.

?When we have people from another ball club, the only thing the first thing I say is that now you want to find out who is Ozzie. It’s not what people say, it’s not what people think?,? Ozzie said in 2017.

?I walk to the All-Star game one day, I’m great with kids, awesome. Because I love kids and I walk to the All-Star game. The elevator opening up and the parents have got to say that’s the crazy guy,? added Ozzie.

?I never have any problem in drinking, I never have any problem with women… I am a great family man… What people think, I am very very opposite… It is very, very wrong how they judge me??

Notably, he won the World Series and American League Pennants for the Chicago White Sox in the 2005 MLB season.
