This is what Ozzie Guillen said during an interview on ESPN Chicago’s Waddle and Silvy radio show about his job interview with Chicago White Sox G.M. Kenny Williams:
“To be honest with you, the day I was doing the interview with Kenny (Williams) I was drunk, hungover. We just won the World Series. I came to Chicago from Miami. I was at a party all night long at Ivan Rodriguez’s house. I come out, wake up when we land at O’Hare. I want to drink a beer when we talk about baseball. I’m a little hungover and we talk about baseball. I don’t know what I say. I remember what I said, I said, ‘Listen, you want to hire me because I’m a minority. Don’t do it. I’m happy where I am.’ … It’s just like if you have a nice car and you want to buy another one. You don’t need it; you just want it.”
