It was a great honor to be a part of the 1988 World Championship. Our season was a tribute to great teamwork and the work of those in the organization from Scouts to Player Development to our Major League Stop. We had a great group of players performing before the greatest fans in the game.

The New Mr October: Orel Hershiser
1983 World Series MVP
During my 24 year Major League Career I was fortunate to catch 16 Cy Young Award Winners. To name a few - Jim Katt (Minn) Mel Stoddlemeyer (NYY) Jim Catfish Hunter (NYY) and Jim Palmer (Balt) along with many other greats. None of them ever has a season like Orel Hershiser in 1988. 59 consecutive scoreless innings with 6 Shutouts. Capped off with this World Series Win. It was the greatest season I ever saw.

I loved this moment against the Mets - game 7 - scoring the first run - We went on to win the game - on to the World Series. Mets beat us 10 of 11 that season.
