"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Dick Williams today," said A's owner Lew Wolff. "He was a brilliant and feisty leader, and universally recognized as one of the greatest managers in major league history."

 

He gained fame as the leader of the "Impossible Dream" Boston Red Sox, who took the American League title in 1967, in his first season as manager. Williams remained with the Red Sox through most of the 1969 campaign before being fired.

 

Williams' final managerial stint came with the Seattle Mariners from 1986-88. In 21 years, his teams went 1,571-1,451. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008 by the veterans committee.

 

The St. Louis native also spent 13 seasons in the major leagues as a player, batting .260 with 70 home runs and 331 RBI.

 

The 31-year-old was batting .214 with four RBI in 15 games this season after signing a one-year contract with St. Louis this past December.

 

In other moves, the Cardinals also designated pitcher Bryan Augenstein for assignment and optioned both first baseman Mark Hamilton and pitcher Brandon Dickson to Memphis.

 

The next highest-ranking relief pitcher who was not already on the roster is supposed to fill the void. So Walden, with a 2.95 ERA, 19 saves and 39 strikeouts in 37 games this season, slipped into the available spot.

 

Victorino also won the Final Vote in 2009, his only other All-Star selection.

 

Konerko tallied 8.4 million votes and made the AL All-Star team for the fifth time. He edged the Detroit Tigers' Victor Martinez, who finished ahead of the Royals' Alex Gordon, the Orioles' Adam Jones and the Rays' Ben Zobrist.

 

Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Reds have optioned struggling starter Edinson Volquez back to Triple-A Louisville. Additionally, the Reds called up shortstop prospect Zack Cozart and pitcher Carlos Fisher, and optioned shortstop Paul Janish to Louisville.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
