Players

Mickey Hatcher I knew from Spring training.
Steve Howe was the #1 pick in my draft out of the University of Michigan.
Bob Welch I knew from big league camp.
Steve Sax I played with in single A and double A
Fernando I knew from Spring Training. He was a character.
Dave Stewart was my mentor my first few years.

 

I can't remember many more that would have most likely come up through the farm system around then. Pedro Guerrero? Ivan DeJesus? Tom "Why did I pitch to Jack Clark" Neidenfeur?

 

Pedro Guererro was ultra cool. He used to call me "shaggy". (Chaggy with the dominican accent)

Dejesus was before my time

Neidenfuer I played with in double A. We used to call him Buff.

 

Bob Horner I played against in Spring training
Biff no. What a name though!
Dale Murphy I struck out on national TV
Pascual I pitched against once. Good show.

You talking about Gant for only 2 years? No, he was like 6 or 7 years.

91 and 93 he kicked major butt.

 

No, not at all - Gant was around forever and was very good. Terry Blocker is who I meant. The players I mentioned next were guys I figured Applejack may have played with while in the Dodgers farm system. Oh yeah, thought of another one - Alejandro Pena.

 

Oh, sorry!

 

Alejandro Pena was a very good friend.
