Stan Williams reflects on the Nasty Boys, Sweet Lou and the Reds

He was the pitching coach for the Nasty Boys. For Mario Soto and Jose Rijo. For Tom Browning and Danny Jackson. And he even coached The All-American Boy.

Stan Williams has fond memories of Cincinnati as both a player and a coach for several major league teams. His major league career spanned14 seasons with six teams and he won a World Series ring with the 1959 Dodgers. His career record was 109-94 and in 11 post season innings, he allowed just three hits and no runs. His second ring came with the 1990 Reds. And he very nearly won a third against the Reds in the 1975 World Series when he was a pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox.
