Winning the 81 World Series made a lot of dreams come true but, ended the the run of a lot of players that had been together a long time...

1981 was one of the most greatest moments, as it was my first successful World Series Victory. And then to repeat this in 1988. I was so proud of my team. And to do it for the greatest fans in all of baseball, they deserved this.

After losing the first two games of the 1981 Divisional Series to the Astros in Houston, we swept them at home to advance to the League Championship Series. It seamed right to celebrate on the field after the final out!
