Dick Williams gets Hall induction, bobblehead doll, too

Bobblehead to come with those new “all slip clip” suspenders, too!

That can’t be Dick Williams. No way. Look at that bobblehead, with no hint of white hair under the cap or on the mustache. It more resembles Billy Martin, right?

Then again, this is Williams circa 1971-73, when he managed the A’s to three straight American League West pennants and back-to-back World Series titles.

Thirty-five years later, voila, here he is again.

And not just in bobblehead form (a gift to you and 14,999 friends who show for the A’s giveaway Sunday against the Texas Rangers). The real-life Williams, 79, will resurface Sunday in Cooperstown, N.Y., where he’ll finally be enshrined into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

It looks more like Carney Landsford than Dick Williams.
