As a Twins guidebook laconically puts it, "This prompted Al to sign up with the Sandinista National Liberation Front guerrillas, and he was engaged in jungle fighting against the forces of Anastasio Somoza for the next 16 months." Williams confirms it all but politely declines to talk about those days or why and how he left (he has relatives still living in Nicaragua). "That's in the past," he says. "I live for the future...
