Venezuela President Hugo Chavez may not be the most popular man in his home country or around the world, but his call to Venezuela native Ozzie Guillen was appreciated by the Chicago White Sox manager.
``I was honored,'' said Guillen Wednesday afternoon. ``Not too many people like the President, but it's an honor to talk to him. It's fun when you've got 25 million people looking at you and wishing you the best. And the conversation I had with the President was big news over there.
``To me, to make my country happy about (the White Sox' success) is something I look to with a lot of pride. We have so many problems back there when you do a little thing to make people happy, and you talk about your success, it's something I can give back to my country,'' he said.
