I have two memories of Bob Welch's career:
1) He won 27 games with the 1990 Oakland A's, one of the best teams ever to lose the World Series. They were swept by the Cincinnati Reds.
2) Game 2 of the 1978 World Series. Welch, a rookie, was brought in to face Reggie Jackson of the Yankees with two outs in the top of the 9th. It was a classic struggle and Welch eventually blew a fastball past Reggie.
Welch won 211 games and was a very consistent starter with the Dodgers & A's.
