"He's like a little kid playing sandlot ball," Schneider says. "I see all these guys, and I know they like baseball, but I don't know if everybody really enjoys it. Ozzie just loves it." - Herm Schneider
"He's nonstop, never shuts up. Not one unspoken thought. He's talking about something he saw on TV, about the batter, about how some event here might translate in Venezuela. He's talking to me, he's talking to umps, he's talking to fans, he's talking to base runners. I've seen it so bad out there that the third base coach is beside himself trying to get the runner's attention." - Ozzie Guillen
"Look at those kids [Ozzie Guillen's]. He's got them dressed in their little White Sox uniforms and their little spikes. They're in here all the time after games, and they're exactly like him, talking all the time. But just look at them." They were pounding oversized gloves and getting underfoot and jabbering away. "They love the fact that their dad's a ballplayer. The thing is, their dad loves the fact that he's a ballplayer too." - Robin Ventura
"Ozzie reminds me of Red Schoendienst when he came over to Milwaukee and solidified the defense in 1957. We'd say, 'What a great fielder, what instinct, what knowledge of the hitters.' But Red was 34; Ozzie's 21." - Roland Hemond
"There's no question. Defensively he's the best I've ever seen. I have never seen him get a bad hop. Nobody reads a ground ball better than Ozzie." - Jim Fregosi
