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.
