SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

I really liked this article:

As Different as Balls and Strikes, But United in World Series

The two men who shaped this year's Chicago White Sox prepared for the start of the World Series with a flare-up behind the batting cage.

Manager Ozzie Guillen charged toward Ken Williams, the general manager, arms flailing, expletives flying. Players turned. Coaches flinched. Williams took a sip of his coffee, raised his hands and walked away.

That is how baseball's oddest couple coexist. Guillen does the talking; Williams does the walking. Guillen is the heart of the team; Williams is the head.

I have had partners and I have had partners but the best partners were the ones I could laugh and fight with.

These guys are classic.

They do not fear conflict. A major asset in any league.
