Dick Williams (D. 2011) was an American left fielder, third baseman, manager, coach and front office consultant in Major League Baseball. Known especially as a hard-driving, sharp-tongued manager from 1967 to 1969 and from 1971 to 1988, he led teams to three American League pennants, one National League pennant, and two World Series triumphs. He is one of seven managers to win pennants in both major leagues, and joined Bill McKechnie in becoming only the second manager to lead three franchises to the Series. He and Lou Piniella are the only managers in history to lead four teams to seasons of 90 or more wins. Williams was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008 following his election by the Veterans Committee.
Offered is a game used California Angels Away Jersey #23 (on front and back). The jersey shows light use, and has a Rawlings Tag size 32 and 2 side hang tag one says "1976", while the other says "Set 1". Because of the size, this was most likely worn by his son, Dick Williams who also played professional baseball. All lettering and numbering is done in red on navy blue tackle twill. The State of California logo patch is embroidered on the left sleeve.
