What movie would Dino recommend for him?: He’s coming up from Florida with a rival who now has to be his teammate? Sounds like a buddy cop movie to me, so let’s go with the original Bad Boys.
Interesting nugget o’interest: Both Williams and incoming Orange Latarie Kinsler announced in the same ceremony, and the two on were on either side of a fierce “Muck” rivalry in high school.
