    Aside from the 1993 world series, his other claim to fame was that he was involved in the Mets trade for Nolan Ryan. R.I.P. coach.

    He was a fine defensive SS for early Angels Teams, got that franchise to it's first ever playoff in '79. I was stationed in Maryland then and was hoping the Angels would knock off the Orioles but not to be. He was a pretty cool dude, they did a nice presentation on his career on "Hot Stove" this AM.
