Oswaldo José "Ozzie" Guillén Barrios ((:ɡiˈʎen); born January 20, 1964) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a shortstop for 16 seasons, primarily with the Chicago White Sox, from 1985 to 2000. He then managed the White Sox from 2004 to 2011 and the Miami Marlins in 2012. As a player, Guillén was regarded for his passion, speed, hustle, intensity and defensive abilities and his ebullient love for the game. In 2005, Guillen became the first Latino manager in major league history to win a World Series. ==Playing career== Guillén was a light-hitting, quick-handed shortstop, emerging from a line of Venezuelan shortstops that included Chico Carrasquel, Luis Aparicio (both White Sox players), Dave Concepción, and Omar Vizquel (who played for Guillen as a utility player for the White Sox). He was originally signed as a free agent by the San Diego Padres in 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ozzie Guillen Trades and Transactions )〕 In December 1984, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox as part of an eight-player trade, with Tim Lollar, Bill Long and Luis Salazar in exchange for LaMarr Hoyt.〔 In 1985, Guillén received both the American League Rookie of the Year and ''The Sporting News'' Rookie of the Year awards, becoming only the third rookie shortstop in major league history to win a fielding title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1985 Rookie of the Year Award voting results )〕 He became known for his daring, aggressive style of play, as was demonstrated on August 2, 1985 in a game against the New York Yankees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=August 2, 1985 White Sox-Yankees box score )〕 With the game tied 5–5 in the 11th inning, Guillén hit a two-out single and, then proceeded to steal second base.〔 When the next batter hit an infield single, Guillén never hesitated as he rounded third base, catching the Yankees defense off guard and scored the game-winning run. In 1989, Guillén was the victim of a hidden ball trick twice. First on June 23 when Greg Brock tagged him out when Guillén, the runner at first base, took his lead, and then had to dive back to the base on a pick off throw from the pitcher. Brock held the ball instead of throwing it back to the pitcher, and when Guillén took his hand off the base to stand up, Brock tagged him out. On August 5, Dave Bergman made the same play, holding onto the ball following a pick off throw. Guillén again dove to the base to beat the throw, and when he took his hand off the base to stand up, Bergman tagged him on top of the batting helmet without looking at him. On April 21, 1992, Guillén suffered a severe knee injury in a collision with outfielder Tim Raines. The injury caused him to miss almost the entire season, and subsequently diminished his defensive range as well as his stolen base output for the remainder of his career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ozzie Guillén )〕 Guillén recovered in 1993 with his most productive season offensively, posting a .280 batting average, and career highs with 4 home runs and 50 runs batted in, as the White Sox won the American League Western Division title.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1993 American League Standings )〕 He hit .273 and scored 4 runs in a losing effort, as the White Sox were defeated by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1993 American League Championship Series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1993 American League Championship Series )〕 In October 1997, after 13 seasons with the White Sox, Guillén was granted free agency status and signed a contract to play for the Baltimore Orioles.〔 In May 1998, the Orioles released him and he signed with the Atlanta Braves as a utility infielder.〔 He helped the Braves win the 1999 National League Championship Series against the New York Mets with a 10th inning, pinch hit single in Game 6 of the series that tied the score at nine runs apiece, as the Braves went on to win the game and the series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1999 National League Championship Series Game 6 box score )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1999 National League Championship Series )〕 The Braves would eventually lose to the New York Yankees in Guillén's only World Series appearance as a player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1999 World Series )〕 After playing one year with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2000, he retired as a player at the end of the season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ozzie Guillén」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
