Willie Harris is best remembered for his World Series heroics, but he thinks it’s what he recalls about playing that has helped make his transition to manager a smooth one.
Harris, who scored the only run in the Game 4 clincher of the 2005 World Series, is in his first season as the White Sox manager for the Single-A Winston-Salem affiliate. He’s only in his second season as a coach and isn’t far removed from his playing career, which ended in 2012. That potentially gives Harris, 39, an advantage as baseball’s up-and-down, unrelenting nature is still fresh in his mind.
