He's volatile, controversial and dictatorial. He is a forceful, sometimes temperamental ruler. And above all, he loathes losing. Richard Hirshfield (Dick) Williams, 55, winner of three world championships in 17 seasons, is one of baseball's most colorful managers. Not one to mince words, his players know where he stands. And those not willing to play Williams' fundamentalist ballgame are asked to go elsewhere.
