Presidential(Chavez) greeting for Oz
Presidential greeting for Oz
As manager of the White Sox, Ozzie Guillen seems to have found his calling.
Sunday he found Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez calling -- to congratulate him on the team's season and its impending playoff run.

"Hello, president,'' Guillen said.
"Congratulations, Oswaldo,'' Chavez responded in the live conversation broadcast nationwide. "All of us here in Venezuela are so proud of you.''
Guillen was enthusiastic about his team's AL Central title.

"Now I want to win more than ever,'' baseball's first Venezuelan manager said of the playoffs. "We are with you, always following your success,'' Chavez said. "And we'll be waiting for you when you come back, hopefully as world champion.''
