About Ozzie Guillen

Oswaldo José Guillén Barrios (born January 20, 1964 in Ocumare del Tuy, Miranda State, Venezuela), well known as Ozzie Guillén /giˈʎen/, is a former shortstop in Major League Baseball and the current manager of the 2005 World Series champion Chicago White Sox. He is the first Latin-born manager in the history of the game to have won a World Series. His career stretched from 1985 through 2000, playing for the White Sox (1985-97), Baltimore Orioles (1998), Atlanta Braves (1998-1999) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2000). He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. Following his playing career, Guillén coached for the Montreal Expos in 2002 and Florida Marlins, where he won his first World Series ring in 2003 before accepting his current position with the White Sox. Guillén wears number 13, the same number he wore when he played shortstop for the White Sox.
